Grayson Murphy has built her career across mountain racing, trail competition and the road, proving again and again that range can be its own kind of dominance. Now, with a new multi-year deal to join Salomon’s International Team, Murphy enters a partnership that reflects not only her results, but the full shape of her life and career.

Murphy is a four-time USATF Mountain Ultra Trail (MUT) champion, winning national titles in 2019, 2021, 2023 and 2024. In 2023, she claimed the WMRA Classic Mountain Championship and earned two medals at the World Championships. In addition, she owns a 1:10 half-marathon, a mark that meets the Olympic Trials qualifying standard and sets her apart as an athlete with rare speed and endurance.

That versatility is a major reason Salomon sees Murphy as such an important addition.

“Grayson will be a real asset representing Salomon on both the roads and the trails in the coming years. We are really happy to have this unique profile, renowned both nationally and internationally, joining Salomon,” says Victor Moreau, Salomon athlete manager. “Though, before winning any big races, Grayson is waiting for the arrival of her first child in May, and it is super important for us at Salomon to commit to supporting her in this journey first, before helping her the best we can on her path back to high level performance.”

Murphy plans to ease back into structured training in the latter half of the year after giving birth. She plans to make her first attempt at an Olympic Trials qualifying marathon during this cycle, before shifting her primary competitive focus back to the trails in 2027.

“Salomon has such a legendary history in trail running and is continuing to make big waves on the road side, too,” adds Murphy. “Their gear across both disciplines is world-class and they’ve built a reputation for backing athletes at the very highest and most elite levels. Joining their team of accomplished athletes is an honor.

“But how they’re supporting me in this next chapter of my career and life is what excites me the most. It is not just as a professional runner, but as a soon-to-be mom too. That kind of belief in the whole athlete and in my future goals and dreams means a lot, and I’m really proud to represent a brand that sees and supports all of that. Can’t wait to run really fast with Salomon the next few years!”

With her extensive experience, championship mindset and long-term vision, Murphy’s and Salomon’s partnership signals an exciting new chapter as they look toward the future of mountain and trail running.
