SHELBY FARRELL
I didn’t start as a runner, but once I found long efforts, I was hooked. Running is the through line, supported by strength training, skiing, cycling, and time outside. I’ve chased distance and discovery, from Cocodona 250 (4th female) to 290 miles from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, Rim to River 100 (1st female), and a growing curiosity for FKTs.
Outside of the miles, I work in marketing and partnerships, blending creative storytelling with strategy to help brands connect with people in a way that actually feels real.
My spirit animal is a mountain lion. Power, intention, and a little bit of wild.
Waffles over pancakes.
Alien believer.
420 friendly.

![I’ve been wanting to start a run club and finally hit the point of: just start it. Stop talking about it.
When I lived in LA there were run clubs everywhere. I never expected running to bring the kind of community it did, but it really did. One of my favorites was @runtechclub. Meet at a coffee shop, cruise some mellow miles with good people, then either head to work or stick around for coffee. Often I’d bring my laptop and ease into the day from there. It was the best.
I want to create a little version of that here. So… we’re starting simple.
Every Thursday <> 6:45am
Meet at the gazebo in Downtown Morrisville
Run some easy miles
Wrap up at Black Cap for coffee
Chill vibes. Not serious. Just an hour-ish of happy movement with good people.
Comment if you’re in & tag a buddy you want to join you. 😽
Swipe for the inaugural routes, DM for the @footpathapp link. 🗺️

![One of my favorite lessons from this ski season. 🎿🫶🏼
Year eight of teaching, after a long hiatus to chase sunny desert miles. Most Saturdays I’ve got a wild crew of six year olds ripping beside me. I also lucked out meeting this rad brother & sister duo for a few private lessons.
It’s tough to call it “work” when your office is corduroy and quiet woods.
I’ve always felt like teaching skiing is one of the best jobs out there, which is why I made space to come back to it part time this season. I told myself it would help me embrace the coldest days of the year, give me a reason to step into real Vermont winter again.
It ended up being so much more than that. Watching fear turn into curiosity. Feeling that shift when a kid decides you’re someone they trust. Getting a front seat to the progress… I forgot how neat that is. 😎
