Tanyia Davila became a part of our Volte family just a few weeks after this year's Chevron Houston Marathon, which she came in from Woodbridge, Virginia to run.
It was her first marathon of the year, but it wasn't to be her last either.
She finished seven marathons in 2024, including one where she pushed an athlete in a wheelchair for the Athletes Serving Athletes (ASA) organization.
And in addition to her Bear Lake Marathon Trifecta, Tanyia competed in a couple of interesting 26.2-mile affairs.
In mid-October, she got to run into Canada and back as part of the Detroit International Marathon and then four weeks later, she ran the Every Woman's Marathon that featured 4,184 female finishers - and just 125 men!
But the Bear Lake races, which she did with her friend, Michelle Reaves, were even more special given the elevation and temperature:
Idaho - Elevation: 5,930-6,043 ft - Temp: 47-78
Wyoming - Elevation: 6,197-6,665 ft - Temp: 50-82
Utah - Elevation: 5,927-6,037 ft - Temp: 50-83
"The trifecta was more than just races," she said. "It was a profound journey of endurance, friendship, and personal triumph.
"Would I recommend it? Absolutely 200%. 3 marathons, 3 states, 3 days. WE DID THAT!"
And, Tanyia, we're glad you did!
