Gordy Ainsleigh
H. Gordon Ainsleigh, DC (born 1947), better known as Gordy Ainsleigh, is a California based chiropractor and pioneer of the trail ultramarathon, a form of extreme long-distance trail running.
In 1974, Ainsleigh was the first to run the course of the Western States Endurance Run. At the time, the trail was used only by horses participating in the 24-hour Western States Trail Ride. When his horse went lame prior to the race, Ainsleigh decided he would run the torturous of mountain trail from the Squaw Valley Ski Resort to Auburn, California, rather than look for another horse to ride. Ainsleigh completed the 'equestrian race', without a horse, in 23 hours and 42 minutes. This was the beginning of the Western States Endurance Run, and the beginning of the modern sport of ultradistance trail running. Two months before he first ran the 100 miles Ainsleigh was a member of the winning team in the Levi's Ride and Tie championship, the sport for two humans alternating running and riding an equine teammate. Ainsleigh finished second in that race in 1973 and in the Top Ten three other years.
==Early life and education==
Throughout his late teens, twenties and early thirties, Ainsleigh worked as a woodcutter, logger, construction worker and juvenile counselor while pursuing his educational goals at Sierra College in Rocklin, California, and at the University of California, Santa Barbara and University of California, Davis. He competed in wrestling and track (in the two mile (3 km) event) at Colfax High School, cross country running, wrestling and sailing at Sierra College, and wrestling at UC Santa Barbara.
In 1983, Ainsleigh received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Western States Chiropractic College (no relation to the run) in Portland, Oregon, and was licensed in California and Oregon. During a series of years at the end of the 1980s, when he did not run the Western States 100, he volunteered his chiropractic services to the runners at the Michigan Bluff medical checkpoint. Within a few years, this grew into a team of chiropractors that he organizes each year, who join with medical doctors and podiatrists to assist runners to arrive safely at the finish line.
