Gary’s viral Tor des Géants video of a runner cutting corners blew up online — and in this episode, he and Ben dive deep into the messy world of cheating in trail running.

From infamous cases like Rob Young’s faked Race Across America to the two brothers caught at South Africa’s Comrades Ultra, this one’s full of jaw-dropping stories and a few personal confessions. Gary also talks about his experience catching a JOGLE runner falsifying Strava data, while Ben reveals his role as the Strava Police.

They also explore the psychology behind cheating — from catfishing and Tinder swindlers to how sponsorships can be affected by fake data.
