052: Grand-Further Mountain Run-Brandon Thrower


Listen Later

In this episode, I sit down with race director, Brandon Thrower, to talk through every detail of the upcoming Grand-Further Mountain Run. See what Tanawha Adventure's website has to say about this race...

The Grand-Further Mountain Run is the premiere mountain race in North Carolina.  The 25 kilometer course will climb Grandfather Mountain a total of two times from both sides of the mountain.  The terrain is unforgiving, extremely technical, but most of all, astounding!  Fixed ropes and ladders are even placed in certain sections of the trails to assist in climbing the tallest mountain in the Blue Ridge Mountain Range. This race is not for the faint of heart or the weak of knees.  It demands your best and your utmost respect.

The Grand-Further Mountain run is coming up soon, and will take place on August 24th. To hear Brandon's excitement about this course would make anyone want to go out and attempt it. But, like the website says, "prior trail running experience is required". Good luck to all of those running in this beautiful and challenging race!
