ULTRA-RUNNER

Flagstaff, AZ

ABOUT

Rob Krar is known for his impressive accomplishments on the trails… as well as his impressive beard, see here. Born in Ontario, Canada, Rob grew up running cross-country and also represented Canada at the Triathlon World Championships. He moved to the US for college, and eventually got his start in the ultra-running world by competing in the infamous Transrockies in 2009.

Rob lives in Flagstaff, AZ, which gives him the opportunity to pursue his non-running passions, including fly-fishing, climbing, and ski-mountaineering.

THE GU MOMENT

“GU played an important role during one of my proudest accomplishments early in my ultra-running career, my Grand Canyon Rim-Rim-Rim Fastest Known Time. After that, there was never any doubt GU Energy would take care of me on any adventure I tackled.”
