Jody Sanborn — Endurance, Equity & Motherhood

In this episode of Get Stoked Girls, we sit down with Jody Sanborn — mother, ultrarunner, backcountry adventurer, rock climber, and outspoken advocate for women’s equity in the outdoors.

Jody shares how her trail running journey began as a little girl growing up on a Wyoming cattle ranch, where her love for the land and fearless spirit first took root. She opens up about returning to running in her 30s while navigating divorce and new motherhood, finding strength and healing on the trails. With over 20 years in gender-based violence prevention, Jody advocates for safe, equitable spaces on and off the trails. She talks about taking on grueling ultras like HURT 100, Bighorn 100, and most recently High Lonesome, as well as setting FKTs as the first woman to hold the record — reflecting on what it means for women to claim space on trails that have long been male-dominated.

We caught up with Jody in the Bighorn Mountains — where her favorite trails, climbing spots, and community come together.
