Who Is Hunter Richardson?
Hunter Richardson fits the rapidly-growing “hybrid athlete” cliché mold of being outstandingly average in feats of both strength and endurance; however, Hunter likes to think that he was this way before Instagram and YouTube influencers made it cool.
For over a decade, Hunter has been running and performing compound barbell lifts. He did so in high school to become a better wrestler and soccer player, continued during and after college to meet the demands of being an Infantry Officer in the US Army, and now runs trail races and competes in powerlifting meets for fun.
Hunter ran the St Jude Marathon in 2019, competed in his first two sanctioned powerlifting meets in 2022, and recently completed his first ultramarathon—a 50K trail race in February of 2024. Most notably, Hunter is a 3x GGC participant.
Outside of training, Hunter works full-time as an IT recruiter; Hunter is also an ACE Certified Personal Trainer. Hunter enjoys staying involved at his church, Clemson football, St Louis Cardinals baseball, hiking, petting dogs, and smoking meats.
