When it came to deciding on a race, the Missoula Marathon seemed to be a perfect fit. “The atmosphere is perfect for the family, it is the perfect combination of beautiful country scenery and urban crowds in downtown Missoula,” she said.

This wasn’t the first time that the 35-year-old mother took triple stroller across a race finish line. Last year, she broke the Guinness World Record for the fastest-half marathon while pushing a three-person stroller at the Missoula Half Marathon in Missoula, Montana.

This year, she returned to the event to go for an even larger goal. To set the Guinness World Record for the fastest full marathon while pushing three kids at the Missoula Marathon.
