A Magical 100 Mile Debut: Jenni Ashcroft & the Prairie Spirit Trail
Apr 03, 2024 Season 3 Episode 12

This week on HappyCast, we're thrilled to welcome back Jenni Ashcroft, fresh from her awe-inspiring debut at the 100-mile Prairie Spirit Trail in Kansas. This episode is extra special as Jenni is accompanied by her husband and stalwart crew chief, Sean, to unpack the intricate dance of a 50-mile out-and-back challenge. While the Prairie Spirit Trail may have been a rails to trails race, Jenni's stellar finish time of 22 hours and 15 minutes is a testament to her grit and determination. 

Dive deep with Jenni as she reveals the rigors of preparing for a distance that was uncharted territory for her, the strategies she employed to overcome stomach woes, and the sheer willpower it took to push through the final stretch with no calories to fuel her. Adding a touch of whimsy to the grueling race, Stephanie, who paced Jenni for an incredible 34 miles, shares her own experiences and the unexpected joy of donning a blow-up unicorn costume for a finish line celebration that was nothing short of magical. 

Join us for an episode brimming with perseverance, love, and a dash of enchantment on the trails.
