Judgement day Half Marathon October 4, 2026 - Judgement Day and the Run the Valley Series taught me a lot. I learned that regardless of your pace, strength, plan, health and injuries along the way, if you show up for yourself, you will be rewarded for your ability to do what most people won’t do. So proud of everyone that showed up to better themselves and endure the heat. I would like to thank Freedom Running for the opportunity to run the series. Thank you. I appreciate all the athletes that made this happen, the run groups, the running community, my family and friends. Nothing comes easy and time away from the people you love is tough but with their support and Jesus all things are possible. I love you Cassandra Ortiz for being my biggest supporter. #TeamOrtiz #whereisJesserunningnext #staytuned

I just traded one addiction for another.

This one gave me my life back.

Sometimes growth is simply realizing you’re allowed to choose differently now. 🫶

More often than not.
The fast route is the long route.
There are no shortcuts.

Many options but the only choice is deciding to stay the course.
Discipline.

A beautiful evening of baptisms at the river.

“We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭4‬

August 8, 2026 - Hell of a Half, Exeter, CA. Another great event and always a challenging course with the heat. Thank you @runthevalleyseries for an amazing event. Special thanks to God for giving me the strength and courage to run, my family, friends, run clubs and the running community for always being there for me and all of us who choose to suffer together. This community is unmatched. The running community loves everyone without judgement, regardless of your pace and where you are in life. Thank you for all the aid stations and volunteers this year that made the suffering possible and believe it or not, enjoyable. Special thanks to @running_fight_club @ibprofunrunclub @not_dead_threads @freedomrunningbrand @holygrit.co @battle_bros_usa @mindovermileskc for always being there. We grow when we suffer together. Next on the Agenda: Judgment Day - Bakersfield, CA. #TeamOrtiz
