It is time. In October you can stream TRFF'26 - from the comfort of our couch, with friends, and popcorn. Ten films, hours of inspiration.  

Double stones were for grab this weekend at Americas Major (not just the US, or the North American Major!!). The Kodiak Ultra Marathons by UTMB were this weekend at Big Bear in the San Bernardino Mountains above Los Angeles in California.

I was there this weekend, and ran the 21K to grab a couple of Stones before the end of the year, I’ll write some sort of event report in the coming days – stay tuned.

Find all UTMB coverage on my dedicated UTMB page here.
