Welcome to our Flagstaff Bound series! We'll be hosting this series along with Aravaipa Running in the lead up to the 2025 Cocodona 250.

In this episode of Flagstaff Bound, host Kevin Goldberg and co-host Peter Noyes welcome ultra runner Alison Powell, who shares her unique approach to the Cocodona 250 race. Alison discusses her creative race plan, which is themed around popular movies and shows, and how this strategy helps her stay engaged and motivated during the grueling 200-mile race. She also shares insights on her logistical preparations, including a new sleep strategy, and her involvement in empowering women in ultra running. The conversation highlights the importance of community, creativity, and personal enjoyment in endurance sports.
