The All In Trail Collective is a group of hungry, younger athletes who are ready to get after the trail running scene. Our athletes compete in all distances, from Vertical Kilometer races to multi-day events. The All In Trail Collective is coached by 6 coaches: Jess Schnier, Scott Traer, Rosa Moriello, Georgia Porter, Yassine Diboun and Joe McConaughy. The 14 individuals below were offered a 1:1 coaching scholarship through the future year. The All In Trail Collective consists of over 100 athletes in North America! Our goals with this group are to help encourage younger athletes to go All In on the trail running scene and to create a space to help expand the diversity of the trail running community.
Annually, we accept applications for athletes to join the All In Trail Collective and coaching scholarship. The application period for 2024 is set to begin in December, 2023. Learn more about the program here.
We’d like to give a shoutout to program sponsors, including Rainshadow Running, Aravaipa Running, Trail Animals Running Club and Tejas Trails for offering complimentary race entries for these athletes. Additionally, we’d like to thank program sponsors Sawyer, TrailButter, Brooks, Janji, and Salomon for hooking athletes up with different gear and products.
We’re proud to announce the recipients of All In Trail Collective Coaching Scholarship. We can’t to see what they do in 2023 and beyond! Stay up to date on the All In Trail Collective through our Instagram.

Ali Everhart
She/her
Baltimore, MD
Coached by: Jess Schnier
Running Goals:
- Complete 200-mile race
- Complete a thru-hike
- Help build a more diverse trail community
I applied to this scholarship to join others who are interested in bringing more diversity to trail running. Showing up at races or events, there’s often a lack of both age and racial diversity and I want to help change that. On a personal level, I want to connect with and learn from other runners to learn how to train more efficiently to improve my strength and endurance so that I can can go farther for longer.
Ali Rudy
She/her
Leadville, CO
Coached by: Rosa Moriello
Running Goals:
- Set a PR for a 50 miler and 50k
- Set the FKT on Mount Elbert, CO’s tallest 14er
- Create a running club/program for youth runners in my community
I applied to this scholarship because I understand the importance of equity having grown up in developing countries, and currently living and working in a rural underserved community. I have experienced many barriers to running myself since I began 11 years ago, and feel the need and drive to further my own potential with a program such as @allintrail, while advocating for others who also face these barriers.
Emilio Anaya
He/him
Tucson, AZ
Coached by: Scott Traer
Running Goals:
- Win at Old Pueblo Endurance Runs
- Top 10 at Black Canyon 100k
- Race in Europe
As someone who is still relatively new to ultra-trail running and running in general, I know that there is still a world of knowledge for me to learn. This scholarship with the All In Trail Collective presents an amazing opportunity to be guided by some of the best athletes in the sport so that I can better approach my full potential. I also believe that being apart of this program will help me to learn how to carve out a larger space in trail running for people and communities who have much less exposure and accessibility to trail running. Trail running has nothing to lose and everything to gain from more diversity in this sport.
Emylee Menard

Nottingham, NH
Coached by: Georgia Porter
Running Goals:
- Successfully finish my 50 mile race within my time goal
- Remain uninjured through training and racing
- Improve my time on traverses such as the Presi traverse and Pemi loop
I applied to this scholarship because I love the community aspect it brings forward. It also gives me a chance to work with/run with people who have similar goals and interests as me while improving upon my personal goals and interests. As someone who is newer to running as well, working with a coach to give me better tools to train for longer distances is also something that drew me towards the scholarship.
Ericka Rinehart
She/her
Portland, OR
Coached by: Yassine Diboun
Running Goals:
- To have more structure and a training plan
- Run a 50 mile race
- In the near distant future, run a 100 mile race.
I applied for this scholarship as a way to grow as a trail runner. My knowledge about training is limited and I am excited to grow in that area. Not only in training and knowledge about the sport but I am also excited to expand into the trail running community.
Ivan Denizac
He/him
Portland, OR
Coached by: Yassine Diboun
Running Goals:
- Two FKTs on established routes in Puerto Rico
- Complete a sub 2:50 marathon
- Finish first in an ultra-marathon (or two) in the 50k, 50m, or 100k distance.
I applied for this scholarship because I felt like All in Trail Scholarship cared about my story and about increasing diversity in the ultra-running community. And as part of my story, I had found find myself financially constrained to afford high-quality coaching that would’ve match my training ambition. All in Trail was exactly what I needed, a supportive community of runners that would challenge and encourage me, while receiving high-quality coaching as a pursue my dreams and goals in the ultra-running world.
Jonathan Facio
He/him
San Antonio, TX
Coached by: Jess Schnier
Running Goals:
- Compete in a variety of disciplines, an ultra trail race, a backyard ultra and a sub-ultra vert race
- I want to have so much fun doing it!
- I would like to see how much better I can be in them and find my limits.
I applied because I have had such a strong interest in the trail and ultra world and try to follow it as much as I follow track. All In was the perfect combo of learning more about the sport and engaging with people in the sport in other communities like the lgbtq+ community!
Lauren Renteria
She/her
Tucson, AZ
Coached by: Georgia Porter
Running Goals:
- PR my 50-mile time
- Run in a 24-hour (or longer) race
- Take on a multi-day, fastpacking effort on a long trail
- Run the Grand Canyon.
Though I’ve always taken on running as a hobby, I am very new to running ultras, racing and the trail running community in general. I applied for this scholarship to connect with other athletes who I look up to, learn more about running long distances and find out what I’m capable of. I am also very passionate about diversifying the starting line and love that the coaches with the All In Trail Collective share that passion with me.
Lila Gaudrault
She/her
Cape Elizabeth, ME
Coached by: Scott Traer
Goals:
- Sub-2:45 in the marathon
- Sub-6:00 in a 50-miler
- Represent the United States at a championship event
This scholarship intrigued me because it goes beyond just the opportunity to work with a coach. The idea of building the next generation of ultra runners through mentorship and support, and, in turn, encouraging those athletes to go out, engage their communities, and build enthusiasm for the sport, is something I find extremely exciting. I also hope that the advice and mentorship of an experienced coach will allow me to reach new levels in the sport as I strive to take on longer distances and new challenges. Finally, through this scholarship, I would love to be connected with a greater community in the ultra running space.
Michael Tappel
He/him
Seattle, WA
Coached by: Joe McConaughy
Running Goals:
- Run a 100-miler
- Get into the UTMB lottery (fingers crossed)
- Get stronger, and improve my running form and efficiency
I applied to the All In scholarship because I’m still new to running and have never been coached before. Although I’ve had some successes in regional ultra races over the last few years based on my self-training, I need the wisdom and experience of a seasoned runner to take my athletic performance to the next level. As a gay man, I’m also excited to bring more LGBTQ+ visibility into a sport that has historically lacked diversity (although that’s changing!).
Ryan Raff
He/him
Flagstaff, AZ
Coached by: Joe McConaughy
Running Goals:
- Win JFK 50 mile
- Race at UTMB
- Win Western States
I applied to this scholarship because I wanted the opportunity to work with a coach to help me reach my goals in ultra running. I also wanted to connect with ultra runners my age who may also be newer to the sport. I applied to grow as a person and an athlete.
Sedona McNerney
She/her
Seattle, WA
Coached by: Jess Schnier
Running Goals:
- Sub 5-hour 50k
- Race my first 50 miler
- Race my first 100k
I took a break from structured running & training after graduating college. I felt like I needed to reclaim the sport as my own and enjoy a little time to explore what I thought the sport might have in store for me. I applied to this scholarship because I can feel myself getting antsy in anticipation of my potential in the trail running world. I’m excited to see why I can accomplish as a part of this amazing community!!
Steff King
They/them
Vancouver, BC
Coached by: Rosa Moriello
Running Goals:
- Achieve a new 50k PR
- Complete a 50-mile race
- Start up a local 2SLGBTQIA+ running club
I have run many races but have seen little opportunity for myself and other transgender and non-binary people to participate as themselves. I applied for this scholarship to not only help strengthen my capabilities as a growing ultrarunner but also to connect with the trail running community to collaborate on creating more supportive spaces for TNB runners. As a member of a small queer athletic community in Vancouver, I have seen how being connected to a vibrant representative group of athletes can help people grow physically, mentally, and emotionally. I hope to be able to use what I learn from the All In Trail Collective to help facilitate that inclusive, supportive space in the wider running community.
Timberlin Henderson
He/him
Fruitland, NM
Coached by: Joe McConaughy
Running Goals:
- FKT for the Long Walk Trail (the Navajo Long Walk trail that my ancestors did to save their lives and culture)
- Race at UTMB race
- Make running a full-time thing. I love this sport.
I applied to this scholarship to not only further develop myself as a runner but also use what I’ve learned to help my community. Running can benefit a community in so many ways and I just feel bringing this energy to my people would inspire them to bring a little more positivity in their life.

What an awesome group of athletes! Hooray!
Thanks Alex! Pretty excited for year two.
