For this week's episode of Happy Cast, we're diving deep into Stephanie's journey at the Mountains to Sea Trail 100 Endurance Run (MST 100).  The MST 100 offers an iconic single-track trail race that stretches along the scenic Mountains to Sea Trail. Participants had the option to tackle various distances, but the 100-mile challenge is notably rigorous, with a 32-hour time limit. The event, held in Raleigh/Durham, NC, featured beautiful vistas of Falls Lake, numerous bridge crossings, and paths that hugged the lakeside, offering both beauty and challenge​​.

Stephanie's participation in the MST 100 wasn't just a race; it was a profound journey that tested her limits and showcased her endurance. The 100-mile course boasted an elevation gain of 7,700 feet, winding through rolling terrains that demanded speed, agility, and relentless perseverance. With 7 aid stations providing crucial support, runners like Stephanie navigated the out-and-back loops, drawing on their training, grit, and community spirit​​​​.
