Amanda Basham

Amanda Basham is a professional trail runner and endurance coach with an earlier background in collegiate running and road marathons. An Oregon State University graduate, she describes discovering trail running in 2014 and pursuing professional racing the following year. Her own biography highlights racing at Western States, CCC, UTMB and Tarawera. [1]

Basham’s road-marathon record includes a 2:54:10 performance at the 2015 Boston Marathon, listed by World Athletics. Her later trail and ultra results cover many different distances, so those races are kept separate from the full road-marathon history here. In her writing, she also emphasizes supporting parents who want to continue training and racing while raising a family. [2][1]
