Adam Kimble is a professional ultrarunner (named Tahoe’s “Best Community Athlete” of 2019 by the Sierra Sun), race director, motivational speaker, running coach and amateur survivalist from Truckee, CA.  He is married to his high-school sweetheart, Karen, and they have a one-year-old daughter named Kaia and a nine-year-old chocolate lab named Sofi.  Adam played Division-1 baseball at Bradley University prior to developing his passion for ultrarunning, and after graduation in the summer of 2009, he ran his first ever 5k race near his hometown of Minooka, IL.  The race resulted in terrible cramps and a lot of pain, but fortunately it also came with a second-place age group finish!  Once the pain subsided, Adam decided his racing days weren’t done, and he trained to complete his first half marathon in 2011.  After completing his first ultramarathon (50k) in 2014, the question became “what else is my body and mind capable of?”  Following the Fastest Known Time (FKT) ever on the 171-mile Tahoe Rim Trail, a 60-day transcontinental crossing of the USA (2,500 miles), 60 days alone in the wilderness to become winner of Discovery Channel’s The Wheel,  seven podium finishes in 100-mile races, and a 31-day self-supported FKT across Great Britain (John o’ Groats to Lands End + The Three Peaks), the limits are nowhere close to being reached.”
