Desiree Marek
Ultra Runner
Bio
Growing up in Montana, Desiree always had an appreciation for the outdoors. In 2009, she began running to support her brother in his effort to lead a healthier lifestyle. Since then, she has discovered her love for endurance and mountain running, having completed numerous races of marathon distance or longer, including both the Badwater 135 and Fat Dog 120. Professionally, Desiree works full-time as a Project Manager in electronic discovery. When she's not exploring mountain trails or working, Desiree spends her time practicing yoga, bouldering, and exploring vegan cooking, led by her love for running and desire to both live a balanced life and be a stronger, more well-rounded athlete.”
