Joe Grant is a mountain athlete living in Durango, Colorado. Born in the UK, Joe grew up in France and began running in his late teens as a way to explore wild places under his own power. He has been running ultras for over 15 years, and has a diverse and extensive resume competing in trail and mountain running events around the world in places such as Colorado, the Alps, Mexico, Alaska, and Japan. Joe has also set records on the Colorado 14ers and the Colorado Trail.
Beyond racing, Joe works in close partnership with Black Diamond to develop trail and mountain running equipment and content. He continues to pursue long distance adventures with an artistic approach and a perspective centered in nature.
This year, Joe is hoping to complete a multi-year project to fastpack a 450 mile route in the San Juan Mountains of southwest Colorado. He’ll also be releasing a film about the impacts of uranium mining in the Grand Canyon region.
The Distance Carbon Running Poles are the lightest wizard sticks in the game for enhanced uphill propulsion.
