Nikki Hiltz

KICK - Film and Storytelling | Seed&Spark Nikki Hiltz, America’s fastest 1500m runner, is on the brink of making history at the highest level of sport. As they chase excellence, Nikki grapples with the challenge of embracing their trans nonbinary identity while competing in a world that demands conformity.

How do you fight politicians that dehumanize trans people? Tell stories that humanize them. That’s what KICK is-the story of trying to make my dream of becoming an Olympian come true-and I just happen to be trans.

the boston marathon: a case study in an anti-trans media hysteria or: how one group controlled an entire discourse

I looked into the media hysteria around a trans woman allegedly competing in the Boston Marathon yesterday. What I found was that every single anti-trans headline about the issue could be traced to a single person. It's 2025 & media literacy is dead.

Elite runner @nikkihiltz.bsky.social shares how new racing leagues like Athlos and Grand Slam Track are changing life for pro runners.

When I was asked to be a Racer for @grandslamtrack.bsky.social in October it was the easiest yes of my career. I can’t believe the first Slam is finally here!

Feeling grateful for my people, queer community, and sponsor-I’ll be debuting a new lululemon kit for each Grand Slam! Let’s do this thing🔥

Hi there! Because there’s no nonbinary category-hope this helps! I was also assigned female at birth and I’ve competed in the women’s category my entire career. I’m just asking for people to use they/them pronouns when referring to me- it’s really not that deep. Most decent humans can understand it👍

the way she looked SO controlled that last 50m too 😮‍💨

Good tactics + speed won you the women’s 800, mile, 3k & 5k at indoor NCAAs this year! And I LOVED every second of it- The future of this sport is smart + SPEEDY!

Congrats to all the athletes who competed this weekend! Such an incredible accomplishment to even be at that meet- ESPECIALLY this year!

World Athetics, the international governing body for track & field, was asking stakeholders for their thoughts on going back to mandatory sex testing for women. The deadline has now passed, but you can email consultation@worldathletics.org.

They've been supposedly collecting feedback for weeks...

Sat down with my better half and made a video on our next chapter. Thank you to everyone who’s supported us on this journey 🙏 it’s definitely been a stressful fall/winter but we’re confident in our decisions. We’re in love with our future- can’t wait to meet her 🫶 full vid⬇️

You can sit at your desk and sign a piece of paper that makes trans athletes lives far more difficult than necessary but you will NEVER erase our existence or our joy. I hope I can be a small beacon of hope and resistance this weekend for all trans athletes 🫶🏳️‍⚧️

When signing an eo that bars trans students from sports Trump said "From now on, women's sports will be only for women”

On Saturday I'll be standing on the start line of a women's race at the biggest indoor meet in the world in front of a sold out crowd in NYC and I STILL won't identify as a woman

I haven't been posting because I'm literally lost for words.

No I’m just 4 feet tall

New year, same kick 💨

The Lap Count’s been around so long that when lap 1 first dropped I was still using she/her pronouns 😭

For the first time in the 8-year history of the race, athletes from the women's division swept the podium at the #MerrieMile. The overall winner was @nikkihiltz.bsky.social in 4:28.39 ($7500), followed by Weini Kelati (4:29.49/$5000), and Sinclaire Johnson (4:28.43/$3000).

Bluesky how do we feel about the women’s field getting a 32 second head start? 🤔 too many seconds? Not enough?

she’s about to run 3:50 😮‍💨

I’d love to expand a bit here-
Part of loving someone is holding them accountable for their actions in a respectful and productive way -which is different from shaming them.
I believe harassing Shelby isn’t productive. That doesn’t mean I, and many others in this sport, won’t expect accountability.
