Giving Gear a Second Life: Sustainability, Ultras, and Reducing Barriers with Jes Parker
Update: 2025-12-04
Description
This week, Mandy Mullen and Coach Brian Passenti sit down with Jes Parker, the founder of the innovative new enterprise, Take2Trail.com
In a sport where gear can be prohibitively expensive and environmental waste is a growing concern, Jes is changing the narrative. We dive deep into her personal journey from accidental runner to Backyard Ultra competitor, and how that path led her to create a mission-driven marketplace for gently used trail running gear.
Whether you are looking to declutter your gear closet, find affordable equipment, or just love a good underdog story, this episode explores the intersection of sustainability, mental health, and the outdoor community.
