🏃🏽‍♀️Running the Kekekabic Trail with Carey deVictoria-Michel🌛

Free Presentation on 5/21 @ 6PM - at Lake State Mountaineering

“In August 2025, I ran the Kekekabic trail with Jenny Abegg from the east to the west in a little over 13 hours. During this talk, I’ll share what motivated the adventure, the process of training (physically and mentally), and how the run went. I have been a runner on and off over the last 10-15 years, but this was by far the longest run I had done. It also was a meaningful run as a new mom and it was a process that helped while process grief. The trail was wild, peaceful and beautiful and I look forward to sharing more about moments along the run.”
