Welcome to our Flagstaff Bound series! We'll be hosting this series along with Aravaipa Running in the lead up to the 2025 Cocodona 250.

In this episode of Flagstaff Bound, host Kevin Goldberg and co-host Peter Noyes interview Finn Melanson, a seasoned ultra runner preparing for his second Cocodona250. They discuss Finn's journey into the world of 200-mile races, his reflections on last year's performance, and the evolving strategies in training and racing. Finn shares insights from top athletes, his approach to sleep during races, and the importance of adapting training methods. The conversation also touches on the beauty and challenges of the Cocodona250 course, gear selection, and personal aspirations beyond race results.
