This week, Tim Tollefson joins us once again on the WTCTA pod for a full episode. We dive into his experiences in professional ultra running, climate awareness, and the creation of Mammoth Trail Fest amidst the backdrop of a changing climate in Mammoth, CA. 

We talk about:

  • Pivotal moments that shaped his understanding of environmental issues
  • The connection between climate and trail running
  • His experience as a race director (including his biggest surprise as an RD) and the community he’s created at MTF
  • The need for advocacy around public lands 
  • Very importantly, our middle names
