Adam Lowe was named in one of Ultra Running Magazine’s top 100 performances of 2021.  He currently resides in Martinsburg, WV and is a member of Frederick Steeplechasers Running Club.  He wears all hats when it comes to running.  Whether it is running a beer mile or 100 mile race, pacing friends of any running level, or acting as race director, he steps up for the challenge.  Having only started running in 2010 as a means of weight loss, Adam quickly transitioned in the sport to a passionate ultra runner.
