Stefanie Flippin is one of the fastest North American women to race the 100-mile distance. Her trajectory to get to that point is truly astonishing.

This episode, however, is focused on more recent occurrences.

In addition to her terrific success as an ultra runner, Flippin has experienced significant challenges. Illness, injuries, and grief have come one on top of the other in recent years. Navigating these hardships has put Flippin on a path to reaffirming why she runs and what she values most. She's coming out the other side of this difficult period more aligned with her values, more strongly in touch with her intuition, and with a renewed sense of appreciation for running and racing.

This episode is focused on these recent transformative years.

In addition to being an elite level racer, Flippin participates in the running community as a coach, podcast co-host, and writer. And, more and more, she is speaking our as an activist and advocate for diversity, especially in trail running.

Stefanie Flippin's story on the podcast highlights how running can be an integral part of healing and transformation. Be inspired.
