My First Ultramarathon: The Watuppa 50K

In this episode, I (Julianna!) share the story of my first-ever ultramarathon—the Watuppa 50K—and the unforgettable day that became a core memory.From start to finish, this race was filled with so much joy, gratitude, and love. I had the honor of running with my longtime friend Ben and my new friend Andy, whose presence made the miles fly by. Nicole came out to spectate and support, and I felt so deeply cared for every step of the way.I talk about the training, the emotions of the day, and the overwhelming sense of community and connection that carried me through. Crossing the finish line in first place with a time of 5:02:05 was incredible—but the real prize was how full my heart felt. (Okay, and the wooden stump medal is pretty epic too!)If you’re looking for a well-organized, beautiful, and truly special ultra experience, I highly recommend the Watuppa 50K.
