Ryan Montgomery is an openly queer ultrarunner and sat down to
talk with Scotty about Pride Month and being a beacon for others as
an athlete. Last year, he placed second at the Desert Solstice 24
hour and third in the 100-mile event. And while most of us were
binge-watching Tiger King, Ryan set an unsupported FKT on
the Wonderland Trail around Mt. Rainier.
Ryan will be rocking the red, white
and blue for Team USA at the 24 Hour World Championships in Romania
this year, as well as running at
UTMB.
In the spirit of Pride
Month, we'd like to share a great organization dedicated to LGBTQ+
youth, Brave Trails. Brave Trails offers accredited summer camps,
family camps, mentorship programs, meet-up groups and year-round
leadership programing. The programs focus on helping LGBTQ+ youth
find what they need most to thrive. Learn more at bravetrails.org.
