One standout triumph emerged from the women’s race, where Peyton Bilo, hailing from the Foothills town of Rescue in El Dorado County, etched her name in the annals of Big Sur history. With unwavering determination and athletic prowess, Bilo surged across the finish line, clocking an impressive time of two hours, 55 minutes, and four seconds.

With ambitions to collaborate with elite athletes as a physical therapist, nutritionist, or coach, Bilo embodies the ethos of holistic wellness and athletic excellence.
