Bethany Patterson is a bad ass. She was also first female at Hellgate 100k two weeks ago. Fierce, fierce runner and competitor but just as sweet as can be. Amazing and inspirational that she races so well AND has three small munchkins at home! Go CRUT!
Congratulations Bethany! Great performance at Hellgate earlier this month.
Bethany is a straight up bad ass runner…she got top 10 at Hellgate, won the women’s race and made it look easy! Kudos Bethany!
