ABOUT

Kylie Aldaz is a Colorado girl, born and raised. In 2020, she traded the mountains of Colorado for the Sonoran Desert and now calls Phoenix, Arizona home. She is a proud mom to her son, Grayson, who has brought a whole new perspective on strength, resilience, and adventure. Kylie shares her love of the outdoors with her partner, Matt, an ultrarunner who understands the dedication, challenges, and rewards that come with pursuing big goals on the trails.

When she's not on the trails, Kylie balances her roles as a coach, ultrarunner, mom, and her career at the University of Arizona. She enjoys spending time with her family and dogs, caring for her growing collection of plants, trying new restaurants, cooking, reading, and traveling.

Kylie's running journey began in 2010 as a way to cope with the loss of her mother. What started as a path toward healing soon became a lifelong passion. In 2012, she ran her first 5K and quickly found a sense of community and connection through running. Inspired by fellow runners and driven by a growing love for the sport, she progressed from the 5K to the 10K, half marathon, marathon, and eventually her first ultramarathon in 2017.

Since then, Kylie has completed numerous ultramarathons, including some of the most challenging trail races in the country. Along the way, she discovered that her true passion lies on the trails, exploring wild places and spending hours immersed in nature. Running has taught her invaluable lessons about perseverance, confidence, and what is possible when you commit to a goal.

As both an athlete and coach, Kylie understands that every runner's journey is unique. Her experience balancing motherhood, career, training, and everyday life has strengthened her belief that success looks different for everyone. She is passionate about helping athletes build confidence, develop consistency, and pursue goals that once felt out of reach.

Whether you're training for your first race, tackling a new distance, or chasing a big ultramarathon dream, Kylie is committed to helping you enjoy the process, trust yourself, and discover just how capable you truly are.
