All Conditions Racing Department: Athlete Roster
The All Conditions Racing Department exists for high-speed pursuits across all known and unknown terrain. Charging in the face of heat, rain, snow and common sense, it’s part science, part madness—and a full commit to unleashing the wildest runners on planet Earth.
Name: Addie Bracey
Hometown: Summerfield, NCFormer track and field Olympic Trial qualifier, current master in Sport and Performance Psychology. The three-time USA Mountain Runner Of The Year, R2R2R record holder, and author of "Mental Training for Ultrarunning" charges trails, then writes the playbook on it.
Name: Anthony Costales
Hometown: Fairfield, CAFor this road runner turned ridgeline regular, trail races have become routine victories. The proof is in the trophy case stacked with hardware — including golds from Black Canyon, Red Hot, and Arches, and a bronze from Western States.
Name: Bailey Kowalczyk
Hometown: Clifton Park, NYShe came up in the pressure cooker of Upstate New York high school running and D1 collegiate track. A move out West helped her escape the stopwatch and find refuge in every switchback. Now she’s sitting on a stash of FKTs on routes like Skyline Traverse, Mesa Trail, and Mt. Diablo and three consecutive Run The Rut titles.
Name: Baptiste Coatantiec
Hometown: Jura, FranceHe first got his feet dirty while studying sports medicine in the Pyrenees Mountains. What started as a way to relieve stress with friends led to a bronze at his debut trail race, some FKTs, and a handful of ultra podiums.
Name: Caleb Olson
Hometown: Seattle, WACaleb threw up at the starting line of his first ultra in 2018 and suffered his way to the finish. Thus, a distance junkie was born. Now he holds the Western States title and the second-fastest time in race history.
Name: Cesare Maestri
Hometown: Trentino, ItalyYou may recognize him as the guy who grabbed an ETC podium spot at UTMB covered in his own blood after a tree-related incident, but before that he was the five-time Italian Mountain Running Champ and the 2019 European Mountain Running gold medalist.
Name: Christian Allen
Hometown: Orem, UTIf you see his golden locks flowing towards vertical scree, call him Slim the Runner. With wins at races like the Speedgoat 50K and the Broken Arrow Skyrace Ascent, and a team bronze at this year’s World ACG Trail Running Championships, his stats are as undeniable as his mullet.
Name: Daniela Oemus
Hometown: Thüringen, GermanyShe grew up chasing summits with her mom and starting lines with her grandfather. Now she’s chasing titles and winning them. Meet the reigning Eiger Ultra champ and the first German woman to ever win the Zegama-Aizkorri.
Name: Drew Holmen
Hometown: Grand Marais, MNYou know him as the defending CCC bronze medalist, but he also has a rep for being the nicest guy at the race. Pesto is his cryptonite, tortilla chips are his daily fuel, and his enthusiasm for embracing the pain cave gives him the ultimate ultra edge.
Name: Gabriela Lasalle
Hometown: Esplugues de Llobregat, SpainShe’s drawn to sky-high vert and heated competition like moth to a flame. It’s no wonder why this 20-year-old is already decorated in gold from the 2022 Zegama Aizkorri Junior Trail and the Olla de Núria, and silver from the Skyrunning World Championships.
Name: Lauren Gregory
Hometown: Fort Collins, COTwelve high school state championship medal finishes. Individual bronze at the 2017 World Junior Mountain Running Championships. Seven-time NCAA All-American. Fifth at the 2015 World ACG Trail Running Championships Classic 14k. You get the picture.

Name: Marie Nivet
Hometown: Naux, FranceA PhD student in sports science, she ran her first race in utero when her mom competed at the National Cross Country Championship, laced into her first Peg over a decade ago, and won the first trail race that she entered in 2022 “for fun.” The rest is history.
Name: Nienke Brinkman
Hometown: South Holland, NetherlandsWhere road-runner pace meets mountain grit. After just a few years on the running scene, she shattered the Zermatt Marathon course record, broke a 19-year-old Dutch record in the Rotterdam Marathon, and still carved out time for a PhD in Seismology.
Name: Riley Brady
Hometown: New Hope, PAClimbing the ultrarunning ranks since 2014, the Colorado-based crossword puzzle connoisseur first cut their teeth on the trails of the Northeast. Now holding gold medals and course records, they’ve crossed the finish at coveted races like Western States.
Name: Ross Gollan
Hometown: Edderton, ScotlandThe 2025 British Mountain Running Champ logs miles by charting uncommon ground for the novelty of it. When he’s not testing the limits of wild terrain, he’s an ecologist studying Atlantic salmon and a coach to those who have the same feral focus.
Name: Shea Aquilano
Hometown: Carmel, INBorn and bred in the Midwest, she went full throttle on ultrarunning after discovering the humble trails of her hometown. At just 23, she’s already won a 100k, worn the Team USA jersey, and ran the Black Canyon 100k on a sprained ankle just to see if she could.
Name: Sophia Rodriguez
Hometown: Dallastown, PAYoungest in our lineup, fastest XC athlete in the US. She's a direct descendent of two trail chasers and found her line early after finishing her first 5k at age six. These days you can catch her at the starting lines of UTMB and WMTRC.
