Sara, a mestiza woman, started running on the pavement of Southern California, east of Los Angeles. Trails were something she experienced only on family camping trips, and she didn’t realize trail running existed as its own niche industry until after graduating college. It would take another 7 years for her to gather trial-and-error wisdom, overcome overuse injury, and grow the confidence to attempt her first ultra: 30 miles for her 30th birthday. The more she learned, the more she realized her limits were malleable, changeable, and ultimately, unknown in a way that felt inspiring.

Since then, she has accomplished many feats her younger self would have assumed impossible. For her very first trail race, she placed 2nd Female, and has podiumed a handful of times since, including 1st Female at the Colossal Vail 50/50 55K. As of 2026, she has set 22 Fastest Known Times, with her two biggest endeavors being the Wind River High Route 100-Mile route and the Lowest to Highest CA 132-mile route. After a year of being a sponsored trail runner in 2024, she took 2025 off to undergo preventative medical surgeries related to her BRCA1 genetic mutation. In early 2026, she completed the UESCA Ultrarunning Coaching Certification. Ella tiene fluidez limitada.
