What does it take to chase a finish line that you define for yourself? In this episode of Beyond The Finish Line, host Joe Hardin sits down with ultra runner and ice climber Ory Frazier for an inspiring conversation about courage, community, and living authentically in endurance sports. Guest host Jason Bahamundi, founder of Run Tri Bike, adds his trademark humor and insight to a dialogue that’s as real as it gets.

From battling through the Badger 100 to tackling the mental challenges of Six Days in the Dome, Ory’s story goes beyond miles—it’s about resilience, identity, and the power of betting on yourself. They share openly about embracing life as a queer, non-binary athlete, why representation matters, and how inclusive race practices can transform the sport.

Listeners will gain insight into the mental game of ultra running, how community support makes the impossible possible, and why every setback is an opportunity to grow. Whether you’re training for your first race or your fiftieth, this episode will push you to think about what your finish line truly means.

Tune in and get inspired to run—not just with your legs, but with your whole, authentic self.
