Adam Peterman (born August 11, 1995) is an American professional ultra-distance and marathon runner sponsored by Hoka.

Personal life

[edit]

Adam Peterman was born and raised in Missoula, Montana, where he developed a love for the outdoors and running at an early age. He went to Hellgate High School, where he excelled in cross country and track. Peterman's talent earned him a scholarship to run at the University of Colorado Boulder.[1]

During his college years, Peterman faced various challenges, including various injuries such as Achilles tendinitis.[2]

After winning his debut 100 mile race at the Western States 100, Peterman's most recent and serious injury sidelined him for most of 2023, a sacral stress fracture. He underwent surgery and spent months recovering, gradually transitioning from walking to cycling before returning to running, after which he ran his first race since 2022, the Antelope Island Buffalo Run, March 29, 2024.[3][4] He continued his success in 2024 after placing 3rd at the Courmayeur - Champex - Chamonix (CCC) race by UTMB, being one of two Americans on the podium.

Adam lives with his partner, Erin Clark, in Missoula, Montana.[5] The two met in college while attending and running for the University of Colorado Boulder. In his professional career, Peterman is often crewed by Evan Barnes, a crewing specialist and long-time friend who has supported him during various high-profile trail races.[6]
