Borderlands Trail & Ultra Running Podcast is for anyone who loves ultra running and everything that comes with it. We celebrate and aim to preserve the culture of dirtbag runners while committing to the professionalization of the sport. This show is for everyday ultra runners who tackle big distances when life allows, geek out on trail running shoes, and follow marquee events like Western States Endurance Run, UTMB, Black Canyon, The Canyons, and more. We get it: trail and ultra running thrives on beautiful contradictions. We cherish the raw, preserved spirit of untracked mountain runs without fanfare or Strava, yet we celebrate the growth, professionalism, and elite talent pushing the sport forward. We're here for all of it -the quiet solo accomplishments, high-stakes showdowns, dirt-underfoot simplicity, and gear innovation. Hosted by Josh Rosenthal (founder of Borderlands Trail Running), we dive deep into the stories that make trail and ultra running addictive: • Iconic races like Western States, UTMB, Black Canyon, The Canyons, etc. • Inspiring conversations with legends (Laz Lake, Dean Karnazes, Scott Jurek, Camille Herron, Anne Flower, + many more) and everyday running heroes • Gear talk (especially trail running shoes and essentials) • Plus big ideas on the sport's past, present, and future Every episode fuels your love of ultra running with stories that make you love it even more. If you're falling in love with the trails, the ultras, the community—or already deep in it—this is the heart of trail and ultra running.
