Keynote Speaker

Sally McRae

Sally McRae is a professional ultra/mountain runner sponsored by NIKE. Sally

has stood on podiums at some of the most iconic races all over the world,

including first place finishes at Badwater 135 and Moab 240. Sally is known for

her mental fortitude and the ability to push through extreme discomfort, but

that laid the foundation for who she is today. Her message is honest, raw, and

relatable; encouraging audiences to overcome life’s toughest challenges and

highlighting the transformative power of resilience.
