The Most Insane Race in America? | Cocodona 250 | Episode 209

Send us Fan Mail

The Cocodona 250 might be the most insane ultramarathon in America.

250 miles across Arizona.
Nearly 39,000 feet of climbing.
Multiple days with almost no sleep.
Hallucinations.
Desert heat.
Mountain cold.
And runners pushing themselves far beyond what most people think is possible.

In this episode, we break down:

the rise of Cocodona 250
Rachel Entrekin making history by winning the entire race outright
the brutal physical reality of ultra running
Andy Glaze and the “Smile or You’re Doing It Wrong” mentality
the emotional Golden Hour finishers
and the deeper question behind all of it…

Why do people willingly do something this hard?
