Pam Reed is an ultrarunner who resides in Tucson, Arizona. She is the race director for the Tucson Marathon.

On Sunday, April 26, 2009, Reed will start on an ultra-marathon in New York's Flushing Meadows Park where she will attempt to break a world record by running 512 miles in six days as part of the 12th annual Self Transcendence Six-Day Race, organized by the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team.

In 2005, she became the first person to complete a 300-mile run without sleep, breaking Dean Karnazes's then-record of 262 miles. (Karnazes claims to have surpassed her distance later.) She completed the run in slightly less than eighty hours.

In 2003, she set the women's record for the USATF 24-hour track run, which she still holds.

She is the only woman to have won the Badwater Ultramarathon (in both 2002 and 2003). In 2002, her win set the women's course record, which was broken in 2008 by Jamie Donaldson.

She is also a co-author of the book The Extra Mile: One Woman's Personal Journey to Ultra-Running Greatness (ISBN 1-59486-415-2).
