In this episode of Understanding Ultra we speak to Michael Jones from Ultra Trail Snowdonia.
Mike tells us about his trail running history and how he became the race director of not one but 3 standout trail running events in North Wales.
He speaks candidly about his pained decision to let his baby (UTS) go to the UTMB group. A decision which with hindsight, was the best decision he could make to ensure his vision of the UK hosting a mountain trail race to rival the European race he loves so dearly, happen.
Mike explains the sometimes complicated system that UTMB now use to organise their ‘World Series’ which aims to bring the global trail running community together under one umbrella.
We speak about the positive effect the acquisition has had not just on UTS, but on his life in general which as a sole race director, can in his words be a very lonely job!
For more information on UTS and the UTMB group contact Mike directly via email [email protected] and on Instagram @ultratrailsnowdonia and @apexrunning.co
