Introducing Joseph Gray: A True All-Around Runner

Joseph Gray is rightly known as a runner for all terrains. He participates in virtually every type of running event, from trail, mountain, snowshoe, and skyrunning races to long-distance runs. Versatility has always been one of his primary goals in distance running. Joseph's journey in long-distance running began in middle school during the basketball off-season. "I loved exploring places on foot and going wherever my imagination led me," he recalls.

What makes his sport special to him are the diverse challenges presented by the terrain. "You can go to a race in the mountains and encounter flat, extremely steep, slippery, or even rocky paths—all in one challenge," he explains.

When asked about the future of his sport, Joseph says that one of his biggest goals is to inspire the next generation of young Black American athletes to try trail and mountain running. He envisions greater diversity in his evolving sport.

Joseph's ultimate dream is to continue competing on the world stage and winning medals at major championships.
