Damian Hall, Green Runner, author of We Can't Run Away From This, winter Spine Race winner 2023, Barkley Marathon's four-looper.
This ultra-hero continues to compete in the world's most top level events, and all while flying the flag for the environment and saving the planet.

Nicky Chrascina has run more miles than anyone else to claim her place in the 100 mile club, and continues to run ultras spanning across the world, from the Marathon Des Sables, to the more recent Mustang Ultra in Nepal. 
She's also the founder of activewear company Flanci, and supports people from all backgrounds to try an ultra marathon.

He's the brains behind the National Running Show with his company Raccoon Events, where he brings together not only some of the best runners in the world, but creates a community for everybody who enjoys running.
He's run 100-milers, had visions of emus, and come up with challenges like the Indoor Relay - all to give people reasons to come together through running.
One of the sport's true nice guys, Mike Seaman talks about how the Run Show came to be, the reasons he runs, and why we should all be getting outdoors.

Vic Owens, aka The Happy Runner, is the fastest person to complete the Monarch's Way, has tackled Cobain Events' The Tunnel three times, taken on The Bridge Ultra, run more than 30 miles on her drive and 60 miles around her back garden, and does it all wearing no shoes. This barefoot, vegan runner, has the mental strength most of us can only dream of - and she's even trained herself out of hallucinations. Mind you, she lets on that her biggest fear is water. Even the toughest among us get scared. Listen as I ask Vic about all these challenges, and learn why her son was the reason for her to go vegan.

With an events company putting on some epic multi-day events, including the so-called "Toughest Mountain Race in the World"- the Dragon's Back Race, Shane Ohly, owner of Ourea Events talks about encouraging female participation, and levelling the playing field for women runners. 
He also talks about prepping for challenges like DBR, and encouragingly talks about how a positive mindset can really get you further than you ever thought. 
I ask him for some training tips to get me to the start line, and he gives some great suggestions for 2023 Dragons and anyone thinking of entering in the coming years.

Meet Nikki Love - she's about to run across Australia! She talks to me about her incredible determination, what drives her to run, challenges she faces running through her 50s, and how she keeps that mindset to "chase extraordinary" and prove that she can get the job done. Running 65 consecutive marathons across Oz, she's taking on the Guinness World Record attempt to cover a distance of around 4,000kms from Perth to Sydney. If she does, she'll be the fastest female to cross Australia on foot! Find out more at https://www.nikkilove.co.uk/runaustralia
