Episode Synopsis

Jon Maaraoui's story will challenge and inspire you. Battling chronic illnesses that put him in a wheelchair in his early 20s, Jon took control of his life and started to learn how to walk, found the ultra running community and has been completing ultras over the past couple of years. His story is a story of overcoming obstacles and the power of believing in yourself. With the Arizona 300 and the triple crown of 200s on deck for 2025, you will be left wondering, what is possible for any of us, if we put our mind to something and start.
