It's Valentine's Day and in the season of red roses and mad dashes to the local drug store for "heart-shaped anything," we put together a collection of interviews featuring three different ultrarunning couples. These endearing endurance athletes share stories about how they met and bonded over ultrarunning.

Jason Green Dec 03, 2021

Show notes

There is something magical happening in the woods in Appalachia - it's part rebel, part genius, part unicorn and entirely full of heart. For those not in the know, Jason Green, founder of Yeti Trail Runners, has spent the last 10 years creating a trail running counterculture of sorts, and ultra events which are about as unorthodox as the reason Jason got into ultrarunning. He shares insight into his running philosophy, personal journey and how ultrarunning can serve the community's greater good. Learn more about the Yeti Trail Runners and their events at yetitrailrunners.com. Watch DEAD LAST: The Yeti Trail Runners Movie. Thanks to our episode sponsor Drymax.
