About the Event

Join us for a visit with local author, Brittney Jacobson, to learn more about her book, Strong Enough to Endure: A Memoir of Endurance – On the Trail and in Life. In her memoir, she shares her personal journey through fitness, motherhood, grief, and rebuilding, offering readers a story of resilience grounded in real life and lived experience.

About the Book

Strong Enough to Endure is a memoir about movement—not as a quest for perfection, but as a way back to yourself.

After a childhood shaped by insecurity and a difficult relationship with her body, Brittney Jacobson finds strength through sport. What begins with bodybuilding evolves into cycling, triathlon, and ultimately leads her to the starting line of her first 100-mile ultramarathon—a distance that will test her far beyond physical limits.

But endurance, Brittney learns, isn’t built by training alone.

Through motherhood, divorce, loss, and grief, movement becomes something she leaves and returns to again and again. Each comeback reveals a deeper truth: strength isn’t proven by how hard you push, but by your willingness to begin again when life interrupts everything you thought you understood.

This is not a story about winning races. It’s about rebuilding trust in yourself, redefining success, and discovering that endurance is forged as much through heartbreak as it is through discipline.
