Hello! My name is Jennifer Madura and I'm excited to be representing the United States as a competitor in the Spartan Ultra World Championships in Morzine, France this July and I need your help to get me there!

A little background information- I started out casually running Spartan obstacle course races for years, but when I became obstacle proficient in 2023, I decided to truly step into the competitive realm the following season in 2024. I left my job as a teacher and became a personal trainer and Spartan SGX coach, continuing my education to become Spartan Youth certified, Spartan DEKA certified, and earning my SGX Level 2 certification as well. I became a Spartan/Tough Mudder Brand Ambassador and was ranked as a top 10 ambassador in North America in 2024. This Spartan and active lifestyle is something I am truly passionate about, and even my children enjoy participating in obstacle course races.

Knowing that endurance was a strong suit of mine, I buckled down on my training and decided to try my hand at obstacle ultramarathons. In June of 2024, I completed my first Spartan Ultra, a 50K+ and 60+ obstacle course race in Montana, taking 1st place in my age group. In October I competed in the Spartan Ultra in Dallas, taking 3rd place in my age group. I also participated in World's Toughest Mudder in November of 2024, completing 12 laps of the course for a total of 60 miles and over 200 obstacles completed.

In April of 2025, I took on the Spartan Ultra in San Jose, California, completing the course with a personal record time of 7 hours and 50 minutes for 2nd place in my age group. Excited to have found my calling, I took on another Spartan Ultra in Fayetteville, North Carolina just a month later, placing 1st in my age group.

Being able to represent the United States in the Spartan Ultra World Championships is an amazing opportunity, but the journey to get there is a costly one. Every single donation is appreciated, no matter the size.

Thank you so much for your generosity and support!

Jennifer
