HappyCast ·

2026/02/18

The band is back together — and by “band,” we mean three ultra runners in wildly different seasons of life trying to figure out who they are when they’re not toeing a 100+-mile start line. Dylan makes his long-awaited return to the mic and shares how 2025 humbled him at Rocky, why he’s stepping back to truly respect the 50K and 100K distances, and how sustainability (and maybe 2027 plans 👀) are shaping his next chapter.

The HappyCast is back for its second episode of the season, and what better way to continue the chaos than to have John Farris return for this third episode - this time to talk about one of the most insane and unforgettable races yet: the Montane Winter Spine Race.
