Melissa Mincic

Melissa is a child development researcher, a Colorado native, and a proud auntie of eight not so subtly trying to “brainwash the babies” to become runners too. She ran track in middle and high school, ran cross country two years in college, and has been a trail runner since 2010. Melissa enjoys training and racing; but 60% of the time, she prefers chasing fun runs with friends exploring the mountains with a good craft beer every time. When she’s not taking way too many photos of wildflowers and breathtaking scenery on trail runs, she also enjoys writing poetry and short stories.
