Ella Hall

From Boots to Shoes

Ella grew up with Nordic skis on her feet, learning to love being active outdoors in the beautiful Methow Valley of Washington State. She raced collegiately at Dartmouth College for a few years before taking a break from competition. Eventually trail running rekindled her competitive desire and she began entering trail races in France, where she lived post-college. Ella moved to Missoula in 2022 to pursue a graduate degree in Environmental Journalism at the University of Montana. Missoula's low-key and welcoming sports community inspired her to continue competing in local events, including bike, ski, and trail races.

Key to Longevity is Balance

Ella is happiest spending long days out in the mountains, whether on skis or on foot, and is passionate about helping others do the same. She has experience coaching youth and adult Nordic skiing, and is excited to bring this background to the trail running world. Ella has spent the last two summers working as the Community Manager at a trail runner hostel in Chamonix, France; meeting runners from around the globe and immersing herself in the deep trail running culture of the Alps. Ella believes the key to longevity in sport is balance and she looks forward to working with you to achieve your goals!
