Jill's Race ReportsRan in 2026 · Finish time 28:47:07
“Starting in the dark is fun as I like to run in the mornings in the dark.”

At the Ultra Fest, the runner completed 100 miles on an out-and-back course from Easton. At night, the runner walked with someone whose light had failed to an aid station, then finished in 28 hours, 47 minutes, and 7 seconds, within the 30-hour goal.
