Harlow Robinson is an accomplished mountain runner and the founding member of the Alaska Sports Hall of Fame. Since 2006, he worked as direct care staff and board member with Healthy Futures, a statewide program that helps thousands of at risk youth around Alaska build self-esteem and life skills.

He grew up living a subsistence lifestyle in remote Alaska until third grade and in 1973 his family was the subject of the Alaska Family Robinson article in National Geographic. He and his Kiwi wife Gina spend a substantial amount of time in New Zealand and both of their fathers are renowned mountain climbers.

He's raced dozens of Alaskan mountain races and wilderness races and won several, including both the winter and summer Alaska Wilderness Races, an unsupported 100-200 mile point-to-point race through the Alaskan wilderness. Hd also did the Transalpine stage race in Europe, which is about 200 miles over a span of eight days through and over the European Alps.

Additionally, after many years and many attempts, Harlow completed the 12 peak challenge, a 24 hour race that links the twelve 5,000-foot mountains in the Chugach range overlooking Anchorage, Alaska.

In the past five years, Harlow has experienced life passing by quickly, and so in that time, he's changed some of his personal paradigms. This effort required acceptance, commitment, a new level of honesty with yourself, personal vulnerability and has revealed wonderful and surprising layers.
