Molly Seidel

Molly Seidel captured the world's attention by winning an Olympic bronze medal in just her third career marathon at the 2020 Tokyo Games. The former Notre Dame standout had only recently transitioned from track to the marathon when she finished third at the US Olympic Trials and then medaled at the Olympics — one of the most improbable results in American running history.

Now transitioning into ultrarunning, Seidel brings her competitive fire and fearless racing mentality to trail and ultra distances. Her willingness to take on new challenges, combined with her infectious personality and openness about her struggles with OCD and eating disorders, has made her one of the most beloved figures in American distance running. She represents a new generation of athletes who excel across multiple disciplines.
