From Cancer To The Western States 100 Starting Line | The Jennifer George Story

This is a story about refusing to give up, choosing hope, and showing up at the starting line when the world tells you not to. In the first episode of The Courage to Try, we follow Jennifer George—a mother of two, former D1 athlete, and trail runner—who was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer just weeks after qualifying for the Western States 100. In 2023, Jennifer won one of just five coveted raffle entries into the 2025 Western States 100. With over 50,000 lottery tickets submitted annually, earning a spot in this race is a dream for trail runners worldwide. However, shortly after securing her entry, Jennifer received her diagnosis. Through chemotherapy, surgery, radiation, and medically induced menopause, Jen continued to train for the hardest race of her life: 100 miles through the extreme heat and elevation of the Western States course. This film is about more than running; it is a testament to resilience, family, and the power of belief. “I had the absolute honor of walking beside Jen throughout this journey—not as a coach or host, but as a friend and fellow athlete. I hope her story moves you as much as it moved me.” — Heather Jackson The Courage to Try — Episode 1: Jennifer George Presented by HOKA × UTMB Producer: Matt Porter, Carie Highman, Sean Watkins (aka Wattie) Director: Carie Highman Camera: Drew Darby, Sean Watkins, Petey Santa Maria, Topher Riley, Jake Twomey, Jennifer George’s family & friends Story: Jennifer George & Heather Jackson Special thanks to Chad Moore, Ben George, the WS crew, and the entire George family.
