- Post-race recovery fueling
Cindy Shepard is a Kenyan-born runner from Oregon. She has been running in some capacity since she was little through sports including basketball, soccer and track. Cindy was a casual road runner during college and after while living abroad but fell in love with trail running after moving back home to Portland in 2022. She ran her first ultramarathon in 2023 and has since completed eight ultramarathons, two road marathons, and several sub-ultra trail races. She is dedicated to increasing outdoor access and participation among people with marginalized identities.
