Gary Gellin fell in love with trail running in the winter of 2008. What started out as a diversion from bicycle racing turned in to a passion for running in the mountains of the San Francisco Bay Area, a thirst for the physical, mental, and competitive challenge of ultramarathon trail racing, and the fulfillment of meeting new friends in beautiful places. Along the way, Gary has won or had high placings, both overall and in the Master’s age group, for a number of well-known trail races on the West Coast and beyond. He has contributed a number of articles to Ultrarunning Magazine and has directed a 50k trail race. “Inov-8 shoes are by far the best I’ve worn for training and racing. No other brand of shoe offers the combination of good fit, light weight, and traction for both short and long distance trail running and for a wide range of trail surfaces.”
Major accomplishments from 2012 include:
North Face Endurance Challenge 50 Mile Championships, December 1, San Francisco: 9th overall, 5th American, 1st Californian
Tahoe Rim Trail fastest known time attempt, October: on track at mile 100, dropped at mile 128 of165 – will try again!!! (Current record is held by Kilian Jornet.)
White River 50 Mile, July 28, Mt. Ranier, Washington: 4th overall, 1st Master
Siskiyou Outback 50k, July 14, Ashland, Oregon: 2nd overall, Masters course record
Way Too Cool 50k, March 10, Cool, California: 1st overall, course record
