Trina Nation grew up in the high deserts of Southern Wyoming but has called Prince of Wales Island, Southeast Alaska, home for the past 18 years. Alongside her husband Kurt and two mischievous cats, she runs Treasure Hunter Lodge near Klawock.

A true adventurer and nature lover, Trina wears many hats—guide, boat captain, artist, conservationist but above all, she is a runner.

Running has taken her from Alaskan peaks to Arizona canyons and become a way to support causes close to her heart, including cancer and mental health awareness. It’s helped her forge deep friendships and, she says, even saved her life.

Trina looks forward to race weekend and the chance to share her journey and connect with fellow runners.
