Just the week before, she had turned 50. Hagerman, who grew up in New Jersey, started running marathons in her 30s after she moved to Provo to attend Brigham Young University, but she first started running after her mom’s friend introduced her to road racing at the age of 8. “I did it, and fell in love,” Hagerman said. “It definitely brings me a lot of joy to run.” Over the years, her idea of what makes a good run has changed. In her 30s, while competing in road marathons, she said the focus was always on speed. One of her biggest goals was to run in the Olympic Trials, which she achieved in 2000. “What a thrill (it was) to be with so many women at that level,” she said. “I mean, here I was standing with TANZI PROPST/PARK RECORD Participants of the Jupiter Peak Steeplechase near the top of Tri-County Peak on Saturday morning.

In her 40s, Hagerman started to transition to trail running, saying she loved the focus on endurance and strength after training for pure speed for so long. These days, Hagerman runs between 60 and 80 miles a week, depending on what races she has coming up. She is currently training for her first 50-mile race – the Run Rab- bit Run race in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, – this fall, which she is running to celebrate turning 50. “It feels great,” she said of winning the Steeplechase in Park City. “I am really grateful that my body held up and that I was healthy and out here having so much fun. Every step I was so grateful and I was in awe the entire time. Those are the kind of runs I love.” Race roundup Hagerman finished ahead of Natalie Como, who took second among Please see Racing, B-3 From sidelines, locals encourage chasers SILVER MOUNTAIN SWIM LESSONS Silver Mountain Sports Club has openings available for session 4 swimming lessons, beginning July 23.
