This is Trail Running Without Mountains.
Trail running in the Midwest looks different. No mountain towns. No towering peaks. Just a different kind of commitment. On the drive to Harvey Lewis's house, Josh and Sam Hartman explore what it means to build a trail running culture in flat country, and why some of the sport's deepest communities exist far from the places most runners imagine.Sam Hartman, founder of TINAR Races in Columbus, Ohio

Western States 2026 Analysis | 10 Things I Couldn't Stop Thinking About
Western States 2026 is over. The course records have been set, the winners crowned, and the internet has already moved on. This isn't another race recap.

Trail Running Culture Doesn't Scale | Bob Crowley's Response
Western States and UTMB are often framed as opposite visions for the future of trail running. One protects through limits. The other protects through growth. But after publishing an episode on that tension, I received an unexpected response from Bob Crowley, former President of the International Trail Running Association (ITRA).Bob argues that both sides may be focused on the wrong thing. What fol
Western States Wants to Protect, UTMB Wants to Grow
Western States and UTMB have become the two most influential institutions in trail running, but beneath the debate over lotteries, race series, and growth is a deeper question: when something becomes successful, how do you protect it?Josh explores why UTMB believes trail running is important enough to scale globally while Western States believes it's important enough not to.

Wasatch 100 & Bear 100: When Ultra Running Just Hurts
Wasatch 100 and Bear 100 are two of the hardest races in ultra running. Michael Whiteside ran both just three weeks apart, and what stayed with me from this conversation wasn't the accomplishment.

Crew guilt, s
The Trail Running Sea of Sameness | Nike ACG, Nostalgia, and the Cost of Optimization

Somewhere between old Nike catalogs, modern trail shoes, and a sea of increasingly similar products,
Why Western States is America's Most Important Race | More than a Run

From Jim Walmsley and Kilian Jornet to Wendell Robie, Rucky Chucky,
Why Trail Running Hides Competition
Trail running culture loves winners. That's obvious. The sport builds documentaries about them, fills Instagram feeds with them, and spends months debating who will win Western States. But the more Josh thinks about it, the more he wonders whether trail running is actually comfortable with the competitive mindset that creates those winners in the first place.As Western States season begins, this c

The Race That Makes Trail Running Real
Trail running usually becomes real for people at a local ultra, not while watching UTMB or Western States online. The parking lot at 5am with 53 runners, one exhausted race director, and volunteers giving up their Saturday to help strangers keep moving is still the clearest entry point into the sport. This episode is for the runners who believe the soul of trail running still lives there.Josh expl
