Grayson Murphy

Runner

Grayson Murphy found her way to running at 19 after growing up as a competitive soccer player and walking on to her college cross-country and track team. She went on to become a five-time NCAA Division I All-American at the University of Utah, graduating in 2018 with a degree in Civil Engineering.

Now a professional runner for Saucony, Grayson competes across mountain, trail, road, and track disciplines. She is a two-time World Mountain Running Champion (2019, 2023), a multi-time U.S. National Champion in mountain and vertical kilometer events, and finished sixth in the steeplechase at the 2021 U.S. Olympic Trials. She trains with the Some Work, All Play (SWAP) team under coach David Roche.

Beyond racing, Grayson is the founder of Wild Strides Paper Co. and co-founder of a coaching collective focused on empowering athletes across all terrains to pursue their goals.
