Our community member Katy Gifford is a well-known fixture on the trails and in races all over Northern California. She joined us to talk all about her start in running, first on the road and then to the trails. She has an impressive list of race completions and recently crowned it with a hard fought effort and finish at the Bighorn 100, "a remote rugged test of your endurance"!It certainly delivered on that promise, and we'll hear all about that, her motivation for finding  joy in her running and racing and her hope for more and more inclusivity in the sport of ultrarunning.
