Follow Women Can.

Follow Corinne

In this Fire Road episode of Ultra Uncovered, Corinne Shalvoy, Russell Ditsworth, and guest co-host Graham Shalvoy dive into the drama, grit, and beauty of the Ouray 50. Corinne recounts her first run at her hometown race, 53 miles with over 21,000 feet of climbing, where she not only claimed the women’s win and placed third overall but also came within two minutes of the course record. Together, they unpack the brutal course design, the storms that turned the race into a true mountain test, and the mindset shifts that carried Corinne through to the finish line.

The conversation highlights the unique family and community ties that made this effort unforgettable. Graham paced Corinne just as she had paced him to victory in 2021, her family was there to cheer in the dark hours of the morning, and every climb carried the weight and pride of running on the trails she grew up with. Beyond the result, the hosts reflect on gear choices, mental mantras, pacing strategy, and resilience, while honoring what makes the Ouray 50 and the San Juan mountains one of the purest proving grounds in ultrarunning.
