About
Helen Cospolich is an American ultrarunner from Breckenridge, Colorado, and the 2008 Leadville Trail 100 Run women's champion, crossing the line in 23:21:53 at age 31. A Boulder native and former University of Virginia rower who moved to Summit County at 19 and discovered she preferred running to any other sport, her Leadville victory opened the door to a North Face team contract and an international racing career. Since then she has completed more than 75 ultramarathons worldwide, including a 3rd-place finish at the Hardrock 100, 11th at the Western States 100, and 6th at UTMB's 166km race. She balanced two decades of elite trail racing with a long career working for the Town of Breckenridge, and in recent years has expanded into long-course triathlon as a mother, wife, and self-described mountain lover.
