Honest conversations with trail running industry pros, and fans who love the mountains. One of the longest running podcast in the scene. This is Singletrack.  

Last year Kaçkar by UTMB had massive weather issues. This year the 100K course had to be shortened again – not sure the reason for it.

Sara ALONSO (Spain) won the 20K and placed 3rd overall just two weeks after placing 3rd at OCC.
