New Zealand trail runner based in Andorra, Caitlin Fielder came to the sport late — a biology graduate and former boxer who moved to Spain in 2016 and only raced seriously from 2021 — before climbing from the Golden Trail World Series and OCC podium to back-to-back Grand Trail des Templiers wins and a fourth place at the 2026 Western States 100.
