Bailey Kowalczyk fell in love with running and racing at a very young age. Taking the classical route into competition, she ran track and cross country throughout middle school, high school, and eventually at Clemson University. Post-collegiately, she competed in the road racing circuit, primarily in the 5k-15k disciplines, until she fell head-over-heels in love with trail running. Trail running has opened a world of opportunity and a lifetime of adventures! Notable achievements include runner-up at the North American Sky Running Championships, Spartan Trail 10k Champion, Mesa Trail FKT, and Bear Peak FKT. She is now training with SWAP Adventure Team, and is supported by Salomon USA and Inside Tracker as she chases her dreams.
Bailey is passionate about advocating for females in sport, and promoting a healthy relationship with food and body. Interests outside of running include Partner-in-Crime Mowgli (pictured below), any animal that has fur, all varieties of apple, cycling, skiing, reading and learning about the human body. In time, she aspires to enter the medical field as a Physician’s Assistant, while continuing to pursue her running goals.
