Meet Melissa.

Melissa Ullrich
Running

I have always loved running since my very first middle school cross country race. I continued running for fitness and pleasure into adulthood, until I lost a fight with a lawn mower. I was told by my orthopedic surgeon that my running days were over. That one statement inspired me (pissed me off enough??) to sign up for my first official race, Ten for Texas in 2009. As the saying goes, the rest is history. I have since completed 2 full Ironmans, 5 half ironmans, 27 marathons, and countless half marathons and shorter races. I’m a 10+ time Boston Qualifier and have run it 4 times. I truly love running and it’s such a joy to share that love and watch my athletes achieve and even surpass their goals. In between running, I am a CPA running my own firm and spend my weekends – what else – running around at collegiate cross country and track meets watching my daughter compete.

If I ever win the lottery, I will immediately sign up for The Great World Race (7 continents, 7 marathons, 7 days).
