Your encounter with the Hopi woman gives me chills. So powerful. Congratulations Rachel! Enjoy the glow ✨

Really appreciate you taking the time amongst the circus to share this Rachel. Also, makes us mortals who ran Coco feel a little better that you had your own challenges and mental struggles during a generally superhuman performance.

Rachel, thank you for the spirit you bring to this sport. We couldn’t have asked for a better representative of our niche community as it has gained publicity in the global media landscape.

And mashing together the best phrases and quotes to summarize, it would be:

Your summary 😎

Had no idea you or this race existed until a runner friend told me about it shortly after you took the lead. We were searching for good news and something inspiring and hopeful...thank you for sharing your experience with us. I'm honestly still trying to figure out how there is so much connection with this for so many of us who do not run and who will never experience something so unique. And still it draws us in.

I love this. I started following you around 2020/21 when you were living in LA. You smashed one of my local FKT’s 3 weeks after I did it and I had to look you up to see what you were all about. It’s been so cool to watch you come up to where you are now.

I’ve been telling everybody I can find about this incredible runner named Rachel Entrekin for the last few years, and now you’re world-famous. Congratulations and well-deserved. I can’t wait to see you smash UTMB and Hardrock.

Brillant, Rachel! You were pure JOY and power to watch the entire race. Still hope to get you to the University to speak to our doctoral health science students this coming academic year! Hope we will connect soon! Susan

My 4th grade class in Indiana watched you run up Elden. We were following the trackers and live streams! They think you are the freaking coolest (they’re right).

Rachel, you can write as well as run! I greatly appreciated the inside details. It’s nice to know that outside the hoopla of aid stations, you and the other leaders experienced quiet, personal moments of camaraderie together and with your pacers. I love your attitude, especially going with the flow with the snafus regarding your rear windshield and the supersize RV. You deserve all the press!
