Tim Tollefson | Trail Running Optimism

Tim Tollefson is a pro runner for Craft Sportswear, living in Mammoth Lakes, CA. He is also the Founder and Race Director of Mammoth Trail Fest. Tim is just eclipsing his tenth year as a trail runner where he's been one of the best athletes in the world. Approaching his 40th birthday, Tim is in a bit of a transition, still motivated to compete at the top while building the foundation for his next chapter. Tim is a longtime friend and our careers are unfolding in similar ways, making this a really fun conversation.

Topics discussed:

  • Creativity and craftsmanship
  • The practical physical and mental realities of aging
  • The importance of continuous self-work
  • Living in alignment with personal values
  • Burning clean fuel vs dirty fuel metaphorically
  • Tim's 2024 season including his DNF at UTMB
  • The rapid changes in the sport and increasing competition
  • Tim's relationship with UTMB championship Vincent Bouillard
  • Mammoth Trail Fest's growth
  • The idea of pursuing your life's work
  • The controversy and peaceful resolution of the Golden Trail race in Mammoth
  • Tim's personal development
  • Goals for 2025
  • A lot more!
