@abby_storer Who are your most inspiring ultra runners ? Would love to hear about them in the comments !
Mine are:
Jasmin Paris: who became the first woman to finish the Barkley Marathons and won the Spine Race outright while pumping breast milk for her daughter at checkpoints.
Careth Arnold: who became the first American to win TDS at UTMB while raising two young daughters.
Sophie Power: her now-iconic photo breastfeeding during UTMB ultimately led to the creation of SheRACES.
Stephanie Case : she returned to running just six months postpartum and won Ultra-Trail Snowdonia 100K while stopping to breastfeed her daughter during the race.
Being a mom IS A SUPERPOWER and you belong on the trails. <3

The creator presents a list of four inspiring female ultra runners who are also mothers. For each athlete—Jasmin Paris, Careth Arnold, Sophie Power, and Stephanie Case—she narrates their significant achievements, such as winning major races while breastfeeding or pumping, and highlights how they've balanced elite performance with motherhood. The video uses B-roll, race footage, and personal photos to illustrate their stories, concluding with the message that motherhood is a superpower and a call for viewers to share their own favorite runners.

The most inspiring ultra runners. Jasmine Paris is a British ultra runner and mom of two who became the first woman to finish the Barclay marathons, making the sixty hour cutoff with just ninety nine seconds to spare. A few years earlier, she bad actually won the 268 mile spine race outright, stopping at checkpoints to express milk for her daughter, Worst Arnold. She's an American ultra runner and mother of two young daughters who became the first American winner of TDS, the 95 mile UTMB race through the Italian and French Alps. Her story shows that motherhood wasn't really a comeback for her, but became part of her rise to a world class performance. Sophie Power. She is a British ultra runner and mother whose photo breastfeeding her three month old mid rank at UTMB went viral. That moment led her to found SheRaces, which is an initiative helping make races more inclusive for women. Stephanie Case.
