I’m Morgan Elliott
Mountain Ultra Trail Runner & Coach
Refusing to stop doing the things I love. Living life on the trail and running fast, light, and free.
Run Coaching
I want to help you achieve your running goals, whether it’s your first 5K or a 100 miler in the mountains.
About Me
You have so many options of style trails to choose from. There is still so much for me to discover and running a trail in the other direction is just as new to me as running it the other way. Being disconnected for a short while from society fills my tank up. The mountains recharge me. Doing what people refer to as crazy, keeps me pushing my limit higher and higher. Running in these places and doing the things that give me joy feeds my flame.
