Coree’s first race was against his grandfather, across a church parking lot. He never stopped running.

Coree is an athlete for The North Face, an endurance coach, and lover of the outdoors. Coree brings a unique perspective to the sport, as he lives and trains in Illinois (#CornfieldCowboys), but races in the mountains. There is not a surface or distance that he does not enjoy racing, all while rocking a speedo.

Coree started as a 400m/800m runner from middle school though college, before transitioning to longer races. He thought he wanted to become a professional triathlete, but a friend got him hooked on trail running. Turns out, it was a great choice.

In June, 2020 he set a new FKT on the Ice Age Trail, covering 1,147 miles in a total of 21 days, 13 hours, and 35 minutes, lowering the previous record by almost 5 hours, and raising funds for the Ice Age Trail Alliance and Feeding America.
