Meghan Hicks

In 2006 through a set of fortuitous encounters with trail runners, Meghan M. Hicks learned about the sport of trail running. In doing so, she realized that she could combine her formerly dueling loves of road running and exploring wild places on foot within one activity.

Meghan was the 2013 winner of the Marathon des Sables in Morocco, the world’s largest, oldest, and most competitive expedition-style trail running race. She has dozens of other wins and podium finishes at trail races around the world.

Meghan loves the people, places, and races that compose the trail running community, and she’s passionate about telling the stories that define it. She is the senior editor of iRunFar.com, the world’s premier trail running website; a contributing editor for Trail Runner magazine; and a former columnist for Marathon & Beyond.

Hailing from Moab, Utah, Meghan is still most enthusiastic about using the sport as a means for fast-moving explorations of the earth’s wildest places.
