2024 US Olympian Dakotah Lindwurm joins the podcast to relive her experience finishing third at the US Olympic Trials in February and share more about her preparation for the upcoming Summer Games in Paris.

A two-time Grandma's Marathon champion, Lindwurm this year will be competing in the Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon as part of her training plan for the Olympics. She will also be making several public appearances during race weekend, giving fans a chance to meet her before she departs for the Olympics this summer.

In 2021, Lindwurm became the first Minnesota woman to win Grandma's Marathon since Janis Klecker in 1987, and then one year later she returned to become just the eighth repeat women's champion and first since Sarah Kiptoo in 2016.

Lindwurm has been a fan favorite each time she's competed in Duluth, thanks in large part to the smile she proudly displays from start to finish.
