project SURGE

Hi! I’m Kelsey! I am a professional triathlete, a USA Triathlon Level 1 Certified Coach, and an RRCA Certified Run Coach! I’ve been hooked on endurance sports since I ran my first half marathon in April 2008. Since then, I’ve gone on to complete more than a dozen shorter races (5k-10miles), 4 half marathons, 16 marathons (PR: 3:10:49 in IMCHOO), the Ragnar Relay from, 7-10 70.3s (including the 2021, ‘24 & ‘25 70.3 World Champs), and 5 full IM (Wisconsin, Tulsa, Arizona, 2023 IM World Champs Kona & Chattanooga). 

 

In 2025, I won the overall female amateur race at 2025 Ironman Chattanooga (9:39:29), and decided to make the change to professional triathlon in 2026. 

​

Running and triathlon are truly a lifestyle for me. I constantly crave to achieve new challenges—faster times, new courses, new workouts, new distances. My future goals include qualifying for the IM World Champs as a pro and breaking 3 hours in the marathon. I hope that working together, we can stoke your passion for running and/or triathlon & achieve your athletic dreams.
