In this episode, we welcome Bethany Madson—the mom of two who just shattered the 100-mile course record at the Mississippi 100 Trail Race.
Bethany’s journey began in high school cross country and track, but it was after her second daughter was born that she truly embraced trail running. Starting in 2018 with a six-hour ultra, she steadily grew her distance. After a brief hiatus, she returned stronger—tackling her first 100-miler in 2023 and recently completing her tenth.
Though she’s conquered major marathons like Boston and New York, her heart lies on the trails—where she finds strength, purpose, and a way to inspire her daughters.
