Before becoming an ultra marathoner, Dianna ran on the roads for years. She's completed over 12 half marathons, 1 full marathon and 2 ultra marathons. Gradually she's transitioned over to trail running and realized that's where her passion lies. She loves to run through mountains, over peaks and valleys.
In Dianna's words, "I run with a group that's a very tight knit group that's all about support and community, doesn't matter how far you're going we support one another and the hugs and smiles are free!" She is also the volunteer coordinator for the Coast Mountain Trail Series with Gary Robbins and Geoff Langford.
