Joaquin Lopez | UTMB Podium Finisher & Mt. Fuji 100 Course Record Holder

Joaquin Lopez is a professional trail runner from Ecuador, living in Barcelona. After many years of strong performances, Joaquin had a huge international breakthrough, finishing 3rd at the 2024 UTMB. Building off that momentum, Joaquin started his 2025 season with a huge win and course record at the Mt. Fuji 100 in Japan, winning by a large margin. This is his first appearance on the podcast.

Topics discussed:

  • Ecuadorian sporting culture
  • The state of Latin American trail running
  • Having a clear purpose and its benefit to performance
  • Joaquin's background in adventure racing
  • The 2024 UTMB and what led to that breakthrough
  • Joaquin's method for goal setting and race selection
  • The dominant Mt. Fuji 100 performance
  • Joaquin's sponsor Kailas
  • His work with the Pro Trail Runners Association
  • A lot more!

*Note: In the podcast, Joaquin says his first ultra was in 2019 - he meant to say 2012, when he was 19 years old.
