Ultramarathon runner Stephanie Case breastfeeds her 6-month-old daughter three times during the grueling 100K Ultra-Trail Snowdonia race in Wales, then wins first among 60+ women. “I WON?!?” she posted, stunned after a 3-year racing break.

Case, a Canadian lawyer and new mom, started 30 minutes behind elite runners, yet powered through 21,325 feet of elevation and rugged terrain. Her fueling strategy—up to 100g carbs an hour—shows “athlete and mom” need not compete. Bib, baby, and victory in tow.

Case stopped at 20, 50, and 80 kilometers to breastfeed, with special race permission at 50K—no outside aid allowed.
