This week on The Running Mullet, we’ve got Ben Mazur joining us. Ben has been around Pennsylvania trail running for a long time — runner, race director, trail nerd, blogger, and apparently someone who thinks normal race ideas are a little too easy. We’re talking Black Forest, one of Pennsylvania’s grittiest 100Ks. Ben is part of the team behind the race, which means he knows a thing or two about midnight starts, 100K of rocks and climbing, no pacers, no crews, and enough darkness to really question your decision-making. And then there’s The VOID. This brand-new 160-mile race from the depths of Ben’s brain (supported by the Eastern States Trail-Endurance Alliance) takes place entirely inside the abandoned Pennsylvania Turnpike Sideling Hill Tunnel. Runners will face sixty-three out-and-backs, forty-eight hours, no scenery, no distractions. Just a headlamp, and approximately 160 miles to think about what went wrong. So obviously, we have questions. We’ll talk race directing, Pennsylvania trail running, Black Forest, The VOID, and Ben’s new Rocksylvania Dispatch blog, where he’s digging into Pennsylvania trail history, race stories, and all the weird little details that make this stuff interesting. Basically, we gave Ben a microphone and a whole bunch of things to talk about. Monday night. September 28th. <a target="" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="ytAttributedStringLink ytAttributedStringLinkCallToActionColor" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbYXv0gsFdA&t=450s">7:30</a> ET. Come hang out. It’ll probably be less dark than The VOID.
