Rachel Entrekin and Kilian Korth on their Cocodona 250 Recap

5/9/20261 hr 10 min

Rachel Entrekin and Kilian Korth just rewrote what we thought was possible at Cocodona 250.

Rachel became the overall champion, set the overall course record, and won Cocodona for the third time, making history in not only this race, but in the sport.

Kilian won the men’s race, set a new men’s course record, and overcame many years of challenges at this race to become the fastest male to ever ran the course.

In this episode, we sit down with Rachel and Kilian right after their historic performances to talk about what actually happened out there: the chase, the pressure, the doubts, the lows, the breakthrough moments, and what it takes to perform at the highest level in a 200+ mile race.

Things we discuss:

  • The moment Rachel decided to take the lead at mile 60 — and why she refused to wait for anyone else
  • What it felt like for Kilian to chase “a ghost” for nearly 200 miles
  • How Rachel ran up Mount Elden to make a statement — when most runners would be surviving
  • The pressure of being counted out, doubted, underestimated, or given an “asterisk”
  • Why Kilian believes 200-mile racing is not just “whoever is fastest”
  • The difference between being in pain and letting pain mentally break you
  • The 20-minute rule Rachel uses when something starts going wrong in a race
  • How Rachel and Kilian turned doubt into fuel
  • Why impossible goals might be more realistic than your spreadsheet says
  • What this race proved about human potential, belief, and the future of ultrarunning

    What's up, everybody? Welcome to the Everyday Ultra Podcast. I'm your host, Joe Corsona, and today we got two legends with us- Hey ... fresh off of Cocodona 250. First and foremost is someone who doesn't need, I think, any introduction, but I always have to give her an introduction. She is your overall course record holder for the Cocodona 250, overall champion of the 2026 Cocodona 250, three-time Cocodona champion as well, too, High Lonesome champion. The list goes on and on- Yeah ... of the accolades, and we could have a whole podcast going over the list. But she is, uh, one of the most inspiring names in trail and ultrarunning, and we're so excited to have her on. Rachel Entrickin, thank you so much for being here, and huge congrats on yet another win.
