In episode #152 we talk with Emily Keddie, who recently set the supported FKT on the Oregon Volcanic Skyline Route, climbing 15 of Oregon's tallest volcanoes:

  • Navigating the challenging 416-mile route, with more than 85,000 feet of vert in 12 days, 17 hours and 12 minutes. 
  • Trail running, climbing, logistics, and enduring through pain and injury
  • Strategies for nutrition and hydration on and off-trail

Emily Keddie is an ultra runner, mountain athlete and former Pacific Crest Trail thru hiker, who resides on the West Coast of the United States. She runs outside to explore mountains, volcanoes, trails, as well as to experience views, the freedom of exploration, and to build and lean into her strength, independence, self-sufficiency and empowerment. Having moved between road, trail and ultra racing throughout the years, she has varied her training to focus on speed, endurance or adventure running. Most recently, Emily completed the FKT of the Oregon Volcanic Skyline Route, adding to her more than 30 other FKTs set since 2020, mostly unsupported. In 2025, beyond her incredible FKT in Oregon, Emily also took 1st at the Transylvania 100k in Romania in 2025, as well as the Ancient Lakes Trail Run 50 Miler and Siuslaw Dunes 50k, and 2nd place at the Lake Sonoma 100 mile Sufferfest.

She loves to backpack, camp, cook, watch movies, read, rock climb, skydive, go bowling, and is always striving to balance family and adventure. Emily loves her work as a coach, supporting her athletes so they can enjoy their own success. Emily lives in Bend, Oregon, with her family and dog, Jolly.
