Brandon Miller from Calgary, Alberta won his entry to TransRockies by winning The Moab Run the Rocks, a 3 Day Sister Race, so he was no stranger to trail domination. Brandon has done very well in races with lots of elevation gain so he was right his element going up and over the many challenging climbs of the beautiful Ortholite TransRockies 6 day stage race. Day 1 was a nice rolling adventure, but day 2, the climbing began by going from Vicksburg, CO up and over Hope Pass to Leadville. Brandon ran his 13 miles with 3500 feet of climbing, which all took place in about 5 miles, in 1/3 of the time it took me. ha-ha. Enjoy his story and race recap.

"I'm a competitor. I like to say I'm a dog. You always think that you have what it takes. And I know that I have what it takes. It was great though; it grounds you and roots you and makes you hungry. Everything happens for a reason. Every race that I'm in, I'm going to try to win. I don't like to lose. But when I do lose, I lose with grace. So for me, it was great for my career – what I just went through – for the sheer fact that it made me hungry, humble and focused for this year.”
Brandon Miller is the 2022 NCAA indoor 800m champion and just wrapped up his first year as a pro runner. He just signed with the Brooks Beasts and will join the team in Seattle in 2024.
After foregoing the remainder of his NCAA eligibility at Texas A&M, he spent the past 10 months working with coach Bobby Kersee in Los Angeles. He has a personal best of 1:44.97 for 800m and represented Team USA at the 2022 World Championships in Eugene. He’s been competing in the sport since he was seven years old at the AAU level.
We touch on how he’s managed the progression, lessons from his brief stint with Kersee and what his biggest hopes with coach Danny Mackey and the Beasts – where he’ll be training alongside the likes of Isaiah Harris, Devin Dixon and Josh Kerr.
