E94 Tara: Packs a big punch

06/25/20 • 64 min

Tara is a Vancouver based runner with a love for bacon, beer, and the occasional mountain run in a banana or taco costume. She’s run 40 ultra-races including the classics like UTMB and Fat Dog, and she’s earned a spot on the podium at many races across the Pacific Northwest. More than races, Tara’s main reason for trail running is for the adventure and exploring beautiful mountains. She has completed longer self-supported adventure runs, and has set some female fastest known times on some of the most rugged routes around the Coast Mountains with her friend Alicia.
