Beth Ann Pardo ran her 13th ultramarathon in October 2019. The insurance director ran to keep fit and as a hobby to cleanse her mind from long days working in Guelph in Ontario, Canada.
Pardo was married in February 2020. She came back from her honeymoon in March and went to a local grocery store on March 24. Shortly after her visit, she received a notification from the store telling her she had come into contact with an employee who had subsequently tested positive for COVID.
