Kim Levinsky is an ultrarunner, educator, and the Founder and Trail Party Director of Sassquad Trail Running. Since launching Sassquad in 2018, Kim has directed 85+ trail and ultra events ranging from 5K to 150 miles, welcoming over 12,000 participants to races hosted across New Jersey and New York. Under Kim’s leadership, Sassquad is built on accessibility and belonging, offering dedicated programming for adaptive athletes, scholarships for kids, and a community hardship fund that ensures no athlete is ever turned away due to cost. A pioneer on and off the trails, Kim became the first woman to thru-run the 358-mile New York Long Path in a single 9.5-day push, a journey captured in an acclaimed documentary that has been screened across the country.
