2025 marked the 7th edition of the Western States Women’s Panel, created by Trail Sisters Founder Gina Lucrezi, featuring: Hannah Allgood, Diane Grim, Cindy Shepard, Yvonne Naughton, and Madeleine King.
The Women’s Panel was created in 2018 to bring more awareness and celebration to all of the women running in the Western States Endurance Run. The panel event features a diverse set of athletes highlighting their journey, background, and why running Western is meaningful to them. Sharing their stories helps to inspire others, while bridging the gap in relatability and what is possible.
