We haven't gone anywhere! Our fall has been extremely busy with race directing and coaching. This kept us out of the studio and paused our production. Fear not! We're back in the studio putting the finishing touches on the conversations we completed in the early fall. Season two will come back in 2022 and we're excited about the conversations we have lined up. Let's go for a run!

Mireya Vargas-Dorantes

We sat down with Mireya and learned about her journey to running in the Western States 100 Endurance Run. She started running in high school but it was her experience of crewing for her husband when he ran, and won, the Angeles Crest 100 that inspired her to give the 100 mile distance a shot. In 2021 she earned a Golden Ticket to Western States via the Black Canyon 100k and set her sights on cracking the top ten on her run from Olympic Valley to Placer High school. She hopes that her experience will also inspire Latinas to learn about the sport of ultra running and bring more Latinos into the sport.
