About Bailey

Bailey fell in love with running and racing at a very young age. Taking the classical route into competition, she ran track and cross country throughout middle school, high school, and eventually at Clemson University. Post-collegiately, she competed in the road racing circuit, primarily in the 5k-15k disciplines, until she fell head-over-heels in love with trail running. Trail running has opened a world of opportunity and a lifetime of adventures! Notable achievements include finishing as the first American and 5th woman at the infamous Sierre Final 30k, 5th overall in the 2022 Golden Trail World Series, 1st at US Trail Half Marathon Championships, and 1st at Run the Rut 30k. She is now training and living in the mountains above Boulder, Colorado, and is sponsored by Nike as she chases her dreams.

Bailey is passionate about advocating for females in sport, and promoting a healthy relationship with food and body. Interests outside of running include Partner-in-Crime Mowgli (pictured below), any animal that has fur, all varieties of apple, cycling, skiing, reading and learning about the human body. In time, she aspires to enter the medical field as a Physician’s Assistant, while continuing to pursue her running goals.
