Meet Caleb Olson

Caleb Olson has always moved with quiet determination. Long before he was winning Western States or setting course records at Transgrancanaria, he was climbing volcanoes in Washington with his dad, discovering the patience and grit the mountains demand. Those early adventures sparked a lifelong love for the outdoors that now fuels his career as one of the top ultrarunners in the world. A husband, new dad, and cat enthusiast, Caleb lives simply but with intention—finding balance through smart training, family and friends, and connection with the world around him. For him, racing is about more than podiums; it’s about moving freely through the mountains.

That same balance shows up in how he fuels his days, too. Caleb knows the difference between running on empty and feeling fueled for what’s ahead, which is why he leans on Kodiak to help power him through. Most mornings kick off with pancakes—usually upgraded with his secret ingredient, ricotta—and on mountain days he’s been known to stash a stack in his pack to enjoy at the summit. Whether competing at the World Mountain Running Championships in Spain or chasing his toddler around at home, Caleb embodies Kodiak’s mission to fuel epic days and wilder lives—proof that with passion, perseverance, and the right fuel, the mountains always have more to give.
