Welcome to the wild world of ultra running with a family twist!

Listen up.

Welcome to Ultra Runs in the Family, where we blend ultra running with the joyful chaos of family life! Each episode showcases our adventures as we juggle parenting and passion for ultra running. Join us as we share stories of our tiny human in jogging strollers, epic family trail runs, and how we turn our ultra pursuits into cherished memories for our kiddo. From toddler tantrums at mile 10 to family finish lines that spark joy, we explore the delightful and often messy intersection of running and raising a family. So lace up, grab your little ones, and let’s hit the trails together!

P.S. While we do share our family stories here, it’s not necessarily appropriate for everyone in the family. We occasionally use adult language, so you may not want to listen with your littles.
