Keynote speaker 2: Hillary Allen
Hillary Allen is an endurance athlete based in Boulder, Colorado. She's a professional trail runner for Brooks and is on the Pinarello gravel team. Hillary's athletic career hasn't been straight forward, after suffering a nearly fatal accident while competing in a running race in 2017, she's had to redefine success many times in her professional career. One way she did was hopping on a bike, and since she started cycling in 2019, Hillary has been able to use cycling as a means to challenge herself and make her a more well-rounded athlete and a better runner.
