Alysia Montaño

I am a lover of nature, adventure, and travel who cares deeply about the run community and leaving the world just a little bit better than I found it. I am a lover of people and enjoy bringing people together, spreading joy, and getting to know people through running and humor. I am an author, creative director, community builder, entrepreneur, and mother of three!

Why Altra?
Altra did not hesitate about my desire to be a leader in representing what it looks like to be a mom and an athlete. I shared openly my pregnancy and my desire to be leading the sports industry to continue to push for changes that included more mothers and people of color leading the pack.
