"I've never seen anything like this before."

"Running is a privilege right now."


In this quick check in episode Troy Meadows shares his personal experiences and observations following Hurricane Helene's devastating impact on Western North Carolina. He discusses the extensive damage to the community, the challenges faced by residents, and the ongoing recovery efforts.

Troy also highlights the resilience of the local community and provides updates on upcoming trail races, emphasizing the importance of supporting one another during this difficult time.


He then talks about his Race pivot to running the Lake Sonoma 100k and his excitement to see his Sonoma county running community again.


Lastly he drops the news that he will be going to the big party in the desert, Javelina 100, to anchor the Live Stream with Chirs Warden to bring in the Middle and Back of the Pack and bask in the glow of those golden hour feels.
