Sarah considers herself a standard-bearer for the everyday runner. Her running superpower isn’t talent, it’s consistency- and she believes that’s achievable for everyone. Sarah started running in 2012 while in a season of pure anger, then she figured out that running actually isn’t so bad after all, and just kept running (very Forrest Gump of her). Eventually she found herself running Spartan races, training hard, and running courses everywhere from Lake Tahoe to Iceland. An injury took her out of OCR for a time and she realized that what she really missed were the long trail miles-and that led her to ultra running in 2018. It has been a wild ride of progressing from 50k to 50 miles to 100k, through the highs of the podium to the lows of a stress fracture and everything in between. We look forward to the adventures that lie ahead for Sarah!

Isabella “IzzyB” Janovick grew up playing team sports (basketball and swimming), then later got into extreme sports. After breaking her back snowboarding and almost being paralyzed, she switched to a “safer” sport - running. Isabella began with local road races, then after being introduced to trail running through a friend, she ran her first ultra, the Lake Hodges 50k in 2015. That same year Isabella founded the run club Ultrabuds, and was diagnosed with Ménière’s Disease, which causes hearing loss, imbalance and vertigo.

IzzyB has continued to grow within the sport of ultras, including Spartan races (obstacle course racing). Her well-noted accomplishments in her career are a 3rd place female finish at the Spartan Dallas Ultra and finishes at both the Moab 240 and Bear 100 races.
