Molly Hurford: Ultrarunner, Author, Strong Girl Publishing Founder

Molly Hurford knew she wanted to be a writer from a very young age. She also loved being active outdoors. But she had decided that, as a writer, she couldn’t possibly also be an athlete. That all changed in college. Today Hurford embodies many identities, including owner/founder of Strong Girl Publishing, writer, podcaster, and athlete, including being an ultra runner. This story is all about how Hurford developed into the athlete she is today, and how her combined passions of writing and sports have become a powerful force for change and inspiration for Hurford herself, as well as the girls and women she writes for and publishes books for.
