337: Dick Vincent: Founder of the Escarpment Trail Run & Longest-Serving Trail Race Director


Listen Later

Phast Phred, Evil Becky, and AFB host Dick Vincent—the man who’s been directing the Escarpment Trail Run in the Catskills for 48 years straight. That makes him the longest-serving trail race director in North America. Laddie Lawrence can have the road scene locked down with Westport’s summer series, but when it comes to gnarly trails, Escarpment is Dick’s kingdom. He’s also a guy who kept a 34-year run streak, ran Boston back in ’74, and even left seven toenails out on the course at Western States Endurance Run 100 WSER in ’86

If you love trail running history, and great stories, this may be the episode for you.

Each of Dick's stories could’ve been its own episode. A streak like that, a Western States war story, and the creation of an iconic race... That’s pure Cultra magic.
