Katti Jackson has only been running ultras since September 2022. In her debut 100 miler, she ran, and won the Grindstone 100 in 2024 and gained automatic entry into UTMB. Join us as we talk through her early days, her experiences at Grindstone, the Georgia Death Race, and how she is preparing for UTMB this August. We believe that she won't be under the radar much longer.
