Dakota Jones on Winning Transvulcania, Balancing Pressure and Fun, and Biking to Western States 100

Known as one of the best mountain runners in the sport, Dakota Jones is a professional trail runner for NNormal based out of the Salt Lake City area. Over his career, he has notched up incredible results such as a podiums at Hardrock 100, wins at Javelina Jundred, Canyons 50K, and Broken Arrow, and tons of other races. And most recently, he won the famous Transvulcania race, which was his second win at the prestigious event.

Outside of running, Dakota is focused on giving back to the planet, as he is the Executive Director of Footprints, which is a non-profit organization that is an incubator for climate change.

In this episode, Dakota breaks down his epic win at Transvulancia, how he’s evolved as an athlete over the years through self-awareness, and how he balances pressure and fun when it comes to racing. He also shares his epic plans to bike from Utah to Olympic Valley for Western States 100 in effort to raise money through Footprints to help support climate change activism.

Huge thank you for Dakota for coming on the show!
