BIO
Josh Arthur was the 2015 US Skyrunning (Ultra) Champion and has numerous podium finishes at high level ultras: 2nd at the 2015 North American Skyrunning Continental Championships, 2nd at the 2014 Run Rabbit Run 100, and and 2nd at the 2012 Cascade Crest 100. Josh has also compiled a number of victories including the El Vaquero Loco 50k (2015), Quad Rock 50 (2013), Run Through Time 26.2 (2013, 2014), Desert RATS 26.2 (2013), and Collegiate Peaks 25 (2012). 
In 2010 Josh moved to Colorado after getting a taste for mountain living during summer training stints in Flagstaff, AZ & Mammoth Lakes, CA. Now he splits his time between various ski towns (winter) and Boulder, CO (spring/summer/fall) where he trains full time either on trails or snow, thanks to his sponsors. Josh is also a private running coach, training clients for races ranging from 26.2 to 100+ miles. With a background in Exercise Science, a passion for teaching running biomechanics, and 15+ years of experience as a competitive runner, he has truly found his calling. |
Originally from Lowville, NY where the cows outnumber the people, Josh started his running career like most American kids, running cross country & track for his local high school. He then went on to run collegiately earning DII All American honors for Edinboro University of PA and graduated in 2010 with a BS in Exercise Science and minors in Fitness Mgmt & Athletic Coaching. It wasn't until 2012, though, that he truly hit the trail/ultra scene.
