Kris Brown has been running his entire life, from track laps “before he was recording memories,” to elementary school, high school and eventually Claremont McKenna College, where he ran both cross country and track and field. Kris began running ultras after college and decided to focus on them when he realized he could outrun his friends who were faster at shorter distances. He lives in Santa Barbara, Calif., where he is a sous chef at Barbareño.
