For two years, we watched the Western States 100 through a screen, obsessed with the grit, the glory, and the finish-line hugs. This year? We stopped watching and started showing up.
We packed up, drove from Idaho to California, and stepped into a dream that had been calling for years.
From sunrise at the start line to the heat of Foresthill and the soul of No Hands Bridge, this is our five-day journey inside the heart of the world’s most iconic 100-mile trail race. We didn’t run it, but we lived it.
This episode is for the dreamers, the doers, and the ones still waiting to leap. A reminder that you don’t need to cross a finish line to be part of something extraordinary.
🎙 Come for the altitude, stay for the emotional breakthroughs. Let’s chase meaning, not just miles.
