Cassandra DeWinter - Overall Champion of the Javelina 100k
About this episode
Cassandra DeWinter came to the Javelina 100k under the radar, quite new to the sport on any surface. She left as the overall champion, setting a new women's course record by 29 minutes and finishing in the third fastest time ever, all-gender!
Cassandra is a former elite rugby player, mother of three, proud Canadian, and only started exploring running as a competitive sport in 2025 after having her children. In that short time, she's run a 2:34 road marathon, won every trail race she's entered, and is only at the tip of exploring her potential.
She brings a lot of joy, passion, and thoughtfulness along with her, and is a real force to watch for the miles ahead!
