Nicole has been running ultras since 2012 and Leadville was her 2nd hundred back in 2013. She returns this year to see what she can do on the course, more than a decade later. We love Nicole's vivacious spirit and gusto to go after the courses and challenges that inspire her, regardless of the outcome.

We are excited for Nicole to tackle The Race Across The Sky and hope that the watch (she doesn't wear) reads course PR when she runs down that red carpet next week.
