250 Miles, One Shot at Redemption | My 2025 Cocodona Story

Подробнее о видео

The Cocodona 250 has quickly become one of the most iconic and popular ultramarathons in the world — a 250-mile journey across the rugged and breathtaking terrain of central Arizona. In "The Comeback", Singletrack Podcast host Finn Melanson shares his experience racing the 2025 edition, following a humbling DNF in February at the Transgrancanaria Classic.

This film takes you deep inside the mind and body of an ultrarunner chasing redemption. From pre-race strategy and pacing plans to nutrition breakdowns and emotional mid-race reflections, "The Comeback" tells the full story of what it takes to finish Cocodona 250 — physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Get an inside look at what it’s like to toe the line with the sport’s top athletes, manage highs and lows across desert, mountains, and pine forests, and lean on crew and fellow runners when everything starts to fall apart. Whether you're training for Cocodona, planning your first 200+ miler, or just love a great story of resilience, this film will leave you inspired.

Thanks to Noah Reese for directing, Emily Cameron for some of the footage, and thanks to Jamil Coury and the team at Mountain Outpost for the livestream scenes and drone shots.
