Join Travis with friends Danelle “Nellie” Ballengee and Mia Howle for a fun and highly-educational conversation about preparing for and competing in trail running marathons and ultramarathon.

Danelle Ballengee is one of the world’s most accomplished adventure sports athletes, boasting four Pikes Peak Marathon wins, three Primal Quest adventure race victories, and six “U.S. Athlete of the Year” wins in four sports. She is the top-winning endurance athlete in the world, having won several hundred events in various endurance sports including skyrunning, adventure racing, mountain running, rogaining, snowshoeing, triathlon, and duathlon. In 2006, she survived an incredible accident where she was stranded for 56 hours with a shattered pelvis when she fell about 60 feet after slipping on an icy rock while trail running near Moab, Utah.

Travis and Mace have enjoyed a decades-long friendship with Nellie that has transitioned from the racecourse (where they used to spend all their time) to the soccer sideline (where they now spend most of their weekends and occasionally see each other at their kids’ training camps and tournaments).  They all raced together with Shane Sigle on Team Endure at World’s Toughest Race: Eco-Challenge Fiji 2019 (available on Prime Video).

Mia Howle, who is training for the Moab Trail Marathon, is Senior Marketing Manager at TheFeed and professional photographer with apBEARture Photography.
