Welcome to the Borderlands Podcast

Welcome to the Borderlands Podcast

Our mission is to be the heart of trail running but as with any human heart we are a walking contradiction and we know it.

We resist the professionalization of trail running and we also obsess over it - even celebrate it.

We romanticize about the days before the all the fancy tech but we also geek out on all the new shoes coming out because we love them.

We obsess over Western States Endurance Run but frankly we wish it were better. We love structured races but we also love the Speed Project and others like it just as much. And who wouldn’t love that person going big without even tracking it on Strava or announcing it on IG?

We’ve had guest that you know and some that you wouldn’t but we guarantee that each episode tells the story of this great sport of ultra running that we’re all falling in love with.

Presented by Kiprun.
