What makes trail running one of the most demanding and rewarding sports out there? Get ready for an adrenaline-packed episode as we uncover the highs and lows of some of the most challenging trail running events of the season. We start with a deep dive into the Kaiserkrone Skyrace in Austria, where athletes faced a brutal 25-kilometer course with over 9,000 feet of climbing. You'll hear about the remarkable performances of Anastasia Rubstova and Manu Morales, plus my own unforgettable experience in the Cirque Series in Brighton, Utah, battling a 6.7-mile run with 3,100 feet of vertical gain. The electric atmosphere and unexpected technical challenges made it a race to remember for all participants.

Next up, we celebrate the extraordinary athletes who took on the Leadville Trail Marathon and Heavy Half Marathon in Colorado. From Mary Denholm's impressive sub-four-hour marathon win to Jacob Scraba's fierce victory in the men's marathon, these races were nothing short of spectacular. We also shine a spotlight on incredible performances by Alicia McDonald, Dominique Stelzio, and Chrissy Lofgren, among others. Tune in for an exciting recap and discover why these events are some of the most anticipated in the trail running community. Plus, don’t forget to check out our episodes featuring in-depth stories from trail stars Jacob Scraba and Lacey Burgess.
