Kat Drew, one of Canada's top ultra runners, came 8th in the 2019 Western States 100 which earned her a spot in the 2021 Western States.   While it was a different race experience, she was still able to finish under 24hrs which made her the top Canadian two years in a row. We chat with Kat about her running career which includes her first place finish at Zion 100 and her Golden ticket race at the Canyons 100K. This is her story...

GRR #20 / KAT DREW (Top Canadian at Western States 100) GottaRunRacing

Hey what’s up everyone, welcome to another edition of the, MELSAYS PODCAST. How’s it going? Thanks for all of your positive feedback, following the last episode with Farinaz Lari, I always appreciate hearing from everyone. If you haven’t listened to it already, check out episode 21. Super excited to release today’s episode, before I head off to Europe for a few weeks. My guest for today, is Kat Drew. She’s a local Vancouver runner, who recently took part in one of the most prestigious trail races in the world; the Western States 100 Mile Endurance Race. Not only did she finish it, but she placed 8th female overall! I happen to meet her while doing some trail work on the north shore, just a few days after her race, and asked her if she wanted to share her story on how she got to this legendary race. She was really lovely to speak to, and it was super interesting to get more insight on her experience at Western States. I hope you’ll enjoy!

MELSAYS PODCAST - EP. 22 - Kat Drew

Kathryn Drew was born and raised in Sidney, BC. She grew up on 7 acres and spent a lot of time playing in the forest with her brother. Although she ran cross country in elementary school, she spent most of her high school years as a dancer. After moving to Vancouver she picked up running again and joined a road 1/2 marathon clinic.  While working at a restaurant she met her friend Michelle who took her on her first trail run and together (with a couple others) they co-founded the Fraser Street Run Club. A bunch of them decided to sign up for the Squamish 50k and the rest is history! Kat's success didn't happen overnight. It has taken her years of consistent focused training (now with the help of a coach) to get where she is today. In 2019 she placed first at the very competitive Chuckanut 50k and Canyons 100k where she got a golden ticket into the Western States 100. In her debut Western States she placed 8th and came in under 19 hrs. I am really excited to share her journey to ultra with you.  Don't forget to subscribe!
