Dennis Kim went from watching trail runners pass him on BC hiking trips to going all-in on Ottawa's ultra scene and the reigning Burrito League Ottawa Champion. In this conversation, Dennis breaks down his journey into endurance sports, what it really takes to train for 50-mile and 100K+ distances, the mental game behind running in minus 35°C, and why your "why" matters more than your pace. He shares wild race stories (including a maple syrup rescue mid-bonk), his plan to tackle Gatineau Park's 114K FKT loop, how he built authentic brand partnerships without selling out, and his dream of lining up for a 200-miler. Whether you're eyeing your first trail race or chasing ultras, this one's packed with real talk on community, mental toughness, and pushing past what you think is possible.
