- Libby Cope and Jacob Arnold made butter while running, a viral idea with over 2M TikTok views.
- They used heavy cream in Ziploc bags inside running vests, churning it during a trail run.
- Room-temperature cream turns into butter faster due to molecular movement, but cold slows the process.
- Their second attempt was more successful with higher-quality cream and warmer conditions.
- The experiment inspired others to try 'churn-running,' including making flavored butters and ice cream.
- Cope sees running as a joyful activity, not just for medals, but for the experience ('just the butter').
