Rod Farvard

Ultrarunner / Mammoth Lakes, CA

Rod Farvard is a 26 year old ultrarunner living in Mammoth Lakes, CA. Captivated by towering mountains and infinite potential for long trail linkups in the alpine, moving to the Eastern Sierras was a no-brainer when his SF tech job declared the company would be remote forever. His passion for trail running came early growing up in Moraga, CA where most of his high school cross country team’s training would be done through East Bay Area redwoods and endless rolling hills through expansive open spaces.

In college he competed in triathlons ranging from sprint distance to Ironman but switched over to 100k and 100 mile trail races soon after graduating UCSB after coming to terms with his ineptitude for swimming. The perfect day for him would start at one trailhead in the Sierras and end 30 miles north or south at another with a few peaks traversed in between.
