In this episode James Elson chats to Tim Landy, one of two British runners to attempt the Barkley Marathons in 2025. They cover his Barkley Fall Classic win guaranteeing his entry into the 2025 real deal. His preparation for the race and of course the experience itself. Tim made it further than any other ‘virgin’, a significant outcome in one of the toughest years on record.
Dan and James are joined by Ferg and Jane, the Founders and co-RDs at Mudcrew, perhaps best known for the Arc of Attrition – recently of course bought out by UTMB. The four discuss the history of Mudcrew, the purchase of the Arc by UTMB, how it happened and why they chose that path for the race. The changes UTMB have implemented, what is coming in the future for the race (a new distance) and what we can expect from UTMB further down the line.
