When Colleen was a kid, her mom read her a story about a family stranded in a storm on Kilimanjaro. Most kids would have been scared. Colleen thought: “I have to go there.”Colleen MacDonald is a mountaineer and ultrarunner specializing in 50 and 100-mile ultras. Her unshakable grit and love of flying down technical descents has led her to many adventures and advocacy projects (which you can hear about in our past two episodes together!).In 2025, that focus took Colleen to Mt. Kilimanjaro, where she set an FKT on a route she and her partner established. She turned this adventure into an advocacy project to raise thousands of dollars for women’s wilderness scholarships.Colleen and Angie talk about:Years of planning this high mountain adventure, with logistical challengesHow a childhood fascination with the mountain led her hereTurning her FKT attempt into a fundraiser for women’s wilderness scholarshipsThe FKT recap: 62 miles and a new routeBTS of Kili: guides, porters, female leadership, and support from her partnerThe ascent and descent play-by-play, then health effects after the featFinding a voice in advocacy and representation for women outdoorsGetting comfortable with visibility and speaking up for othersOther conversations with Colleen:Spring 2025: DNF’s, Post-Race Blues, and Competition for Collaboration: Colleen’s Ultrarunning StoryWinter 2026: Athletes are Advocates to Speak Out Against Fascism: Tips for Speaking Up Even When It’s ScaryCheck out these resources:📱 Colleen on IG: @m_cmacdonald➡️ The Cairn Project on IG✨ The Cairn Project's newsletter🥾 Become a Trailblazer📅 Summit Scholarship FoundationLike this episode?
