2025 Javelina 100 Preview

Let"s Talk Trail Running ·

2025/10/23

It’s sad to think the trail running season is largely over, but as we count down to the end of the year there are a few last exciting events on the horizon (Javelina, JFK, UTCT). This year’s Javelina will include 3 of the top 4 mens finishers from last year’s edition of the race and only 2 of the top 7 on the women’s side. The race is fast, flat, and the weather looks good. Let the Golden Ticket hunt begin for next year’s Western States! PS: This would’ve been out last night but my audio equipment

2025/05/21

Zegama is Zegama! Or at least that’s what they say. The legendary Zegama is a marathon distance trail race that takes place the end of May each year in the Basque region of Spain. The course is bombarded with thousands of screaming and passionate trail running fans and the weather can be legendarily terrible to go along with a very technical course that includes plenty of mud and rocks. The course combined with the weather combined with the distance mean that it is often the longest race on the
