An accomplished marathoner and triathlete, Allison loved the outdoors and was also an avid hiker, biker and swimmer. She completed the Boston Marathon in 2011, qualifying for the New York Marathon. As a student at Dartmouth Allison served as a Vox Crew member in the Dartmouth Outing Club. She earned a BA in environmental policy at Dartmouth, where she was on the varsity cross country and track teams and an enthusiastic member of the Dartmouth Outing Club. A lifetime membership to the Dartmouth Outing Club was a graduation gift from Allison's parents, Laurence and Renee Smith. Lucy Pollard, Allison's wife, is working on a memorial project with the Dartmouth Outing Club.
