Timothy Olson
Timothy ran the Pacific Crest Trail in record time, running a total of 2,653 miles in 51 days, 16 hours, and 55 minutes. He is also the two-time winner and previous record holder of Western States 100 Mile race. Timothy enjoys long runs up mountains, challenging his body, mind and spirit. He finds inspiration in the land, trees, mountains and wildlife, connecting with them on the run, feeling their energy, allowing him to run wild and free. He believes that by being connected to our earth and living consciously and mindfully, we can create vibrations to inspire individual and collective steps to heal, care and nurture our environment and ourselves. Timothy uses a daily meditation practice and has found the value of this practice to motivate, inspire and balance his passions of family, running, nutrition and mindfulness lifestyle. Timothy lives in Applegate, Oregon with his wife, Krista, and three children Tristan, Kai, and Esmeray.
Krista Olson
Krista finds her bliss out on long trail running adventures in the mountains. Diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA) at age four, with most of her lifetime on harsh medications and in chronic pain, she has a strong interest in holistic health and has brought her JRA into remission, medicine free, through a combination of diet, exercise, mindfulness and natural health approaches. Krista is a Nature-Based Embodiment Coach and is passionate about helping people find the truest, most beautiful version of themselves. Krista and Timothy enjoy homeschooling their children together with a focus on nature and adventure.
