Great back of the pack story for this one. Brent Wise finished the 40 miler at the Sugg Farm Ultra with just 1:21 left before the 12-hour cutoff.

Laurie Matecki is another one of those runners who if you haven't heard of her, you've probably seen her at a race at some point. With over 150 results on Ultrasignup, Laurie is everywhere all the time. One of her most recent finishes is the Buckeye 200, which was her first 200 mile race (although she's done Vol State and HOTS).

Brian Atkinson is a super fast ex-D1 runner who has dipped his toes into the trail/ultra scene. The Asheville runner recently won the Grand-Further Mountain Run 25K and beat ultra legend/past guest of the podcast John Kelly in the process.

Dave Morl is a Bigfoot 200 finisher from Rutherfordton, NC. Originally from the UK, Dave is an experienced ultra runner who has finished all kinds of distances including all three of Candice Burt's 200+ mile races.

Another episode, another TUFF runner from the Raleigh area. This time, we're talking with Scott Perry, who is on a quest to find the toughest 50K in the U.S. He's run two of the three that are widely believed to be the toughest. Those are Quest for the Crest and Speedgoat. He's got the Barkley Fall Classic coming up later in 2024 as well.
