August 13, 2025 When the Miles Find You: Tara Warren’s Rocky Mountain Slam Story
(Disclaimer: Adult language and content)
(Editor's note: We have new mics in the studio that we're in the process of fine tuning. Bear with us.)
In one unforgettable summer, ultrarunner Tara Warren took on the Rocky Mountain Slam—four grueling 100-mile races in a single season. She ran for her mother, whose life was cut short by ALS, carrying her memory over every mountain pass and through every storm. In our conversation, we also talk about how filmmaker Jessica Kunzer-Pearson of Camp4 Collective—who directed the short film Humans of HOKA: Tara Warren—had lost her own mother to ALS. The universe brought Tara and Jessica together, creating a powerful collaboration that honors love, loss, and the strength to keep moving forward.
