Abby Hall is lining up for the 2025 UTMB after a summer that she’s already more than satisfied with. In the following interview, Abby talks about recovery after winning the 2025 Western States 100 just two months ago, waiting to make sure that she was both mentally and physically ready to train again, and how she thinks that maybe UTMB and Western really aren’t as different as people make them out to be.

For more on who’s racing, check out our in-depth women’s and men’s previews and follow our live race coverage starting Friday.
