Laura Messner

Laura Messner is a 23 year old, elite Obstacle Course Racer (OCR). Traveling across the country over the past 14 months to compete, particularly in Spartan Races, has opened many new doors for Laura. She readily credits this experience, especially the support and camraderie of fellow racers, with the significant personal growth she has achieved this past year. Despite her relatively new love for OCR, Laura is certainly no stranger to the fitness world. While growing up, she was involved in many sports such as gymnastics, softball, field hockey and tennis and; more recently, body building, CrossFit and OCR. Laura is currently working to become a NASM-certified personal trainer and a member of the Army National Guard. Laura is always forward-moving, and in search of new, inspirational challenges. Not only is she an incredibly dedicated athlete, but she also finds joy in being a positive, inspiring, pubic figure. As such, she continues to push for nothing but the best in her own life, looking forward to making every day better than the last.
