USA Track & Field (USATF) recognized elite mountain runner and Spenco-sponsored athlete Joseph Gray with its “Mountain Runner of the Year” title on December 4 during its annual meeting in Anaheim, CA.
As a member of Team Spenco, Gray wears the Waco, TX-based company’s cushioning Ironman Race insoles during races, uses its medical products, like the 2nd Skin Blister Kit, and wears Spenco’s line of supportive shoes and sandals for after-race recovery.
Gray lives and trains in Colorado Springs, CO, and is a six-time North American Central American and Caribbean (NACAC) champion, an eight-time USA National champion, a 15-time USA National team member, the first African American to win the USA National Mountain Running Championship, and the first athlete to win NACAC titles in Cross Country and Mountain Running. This is the fifth time Gray has been named Mountain Runner of the Year.
