As it turns out, it takes a village—or at the very least, a rock-solid partnership. In this episode, we sit down with West Virginia ultrarunner Alisha Moreno, who recently crossed the finish line at the legendary Cocodona 250, alongside her secret weapon: her husband and crew chief, Donald Marsh. We trace their journey from local West Viriginia trails to the massive point-to-point sandbox of Cocodona. Alisha and Donald pull back the curtain on the mind-boggling logistics required to plan for a multi-day footrace. But beyond the dirt and the data, Alisha and Donald are deeply rooted in the culture of our sport. We talk about their deep love for the ultrarunning community and why giving back through volunteering, and crewing others means just as much to them as crossing their own finish lines. Whether you’re eyeing a multi-day race yourself or just love a powerful story about teamwork and community spirit, this episode is packed with inspiration, laughs, and pure ultra-wisdom.","meta_description":"What does it actually take to run 250 miles across the rugged terrain of Arizona?
