Nancy Hobbs has extensive experience as both a runner and administrator in the sports of trail and mountain running. She founded the American Trail Running Association (ATRA) in 1996 and is the Executive Director. In addition to her duties with ATRA, she has been the manager of the U.S. Mountain Running Team, starting the women's team in 1995. The team has reaped huge successes since Nancy has been involved, the women's team winning gold in 2006 & 2007, bronze in 2004 and 2009. Nancy worked selflessly and tirelessly to secure funding for the team - the results speak loudly for the success of Nancy's efforts. She works closely with USATF and is chairperson for the mountain, ultra, trail running council. On the International scene, she is a member of the World Mountain Running Association Council. Since the mid-90's, trail running has grown exponentially in the USA and around the World, thanks in no small way to Nancy.
Nancy is no slouch herself as a runner - she finished 4th in her age group at the past two World Masters Mountain Running Championships. She is also a frequent age-group winner at events of varying distances around the USA. At age 50, she holds a 20.26 PR for 5 kilometers. She has a down to earth manner that is very inspiring and motivating. She has a passionate belief that anything is possible with the right attitude and a great training plan!

Nancy has worked with us on several women's running camps, as well as trail running weekend camps in Estes Park, CO. She is great fun to be around and has many entertaining stories to tell from around the globe! I am delighted to have Nancy on the coaching team for Running-Vacations.
