Borderlands Trail and Ultra Running

Ultra running has changed dramatically over the past few decades, but Dean Karnazes still believes the heart of the sport is simple. In this episode, Josh sits down with one of ultra running’s most recognizable figures to talk about the philosophy that’s guided him through decades of running: at the end of the day, it’s still just a pair of shoes and a place to run.Dean reflects on the impact running has had on his life and the lives of countless runners he’s inspired through his books, stories, and global advocacy for the sport. The conversation wanders through his unforgettable appearances on Conan O’Brien, David Letterman, and the ESPYs, while also exploring how ultra running has evolved—and why its rapid growth is ultimately a good thing for everyone who laces up.For runners who believe the simplest act—putting one foot in front of the other—can change everything.Please give us a follow, rate the podcast, and give a review.Topics / Timestamps00:00 The Roots of an Ultra Runner 03:15 Conan O'brien appearance 05:02 Western States 09:34 Dean's Best WSER Finish 11:47 David Letterman appearance 16:43 The Next Quest: From Badwater to Everest 22:45 Promoting Sports Tourism in Greece 29:16 ESPY Award 31:59 Badwater: A Test of Endurance 33:57 The Dirtbag Spirit in Ultra Running 35:58 The Essence of Running and Its ImpactPresented by Kiprun.----Find us at Borderlands.cc and sign up for the newsletter.Want to run in the Salt Lake area?

Brett Harrison started Red Knot Racing Co. as an expression of his heart for Tanzania, Tanzanians, and running.  His first mission, however, is not running.  It's community development.[Presented by Naked Sports Innovations]Brett moved to Tanzania in 2009 where, among other things, he helped improve agricultral practices.  But over time, his staff grew to 15 local Tanzanians who started putting on endurance events at the base of Kilimanjaro and to this day is the only organization permitted to do them year after year.But again, its not about the races.  Races are a means of community development.To an outsider, you see world class events and assume he's building something to sell to UTMB or building an empire for empire's sake.  He's not.  He's building something to positively impact the lives of Tanzanians.By the way, Red Knot puts on the largest outdoor sports festival in East Africa with 1,500 attendees.Check out Red Knot Racing and Red Knot Development. ----Patreon | BtS Building BorderlandsBorderlands.cc | Podcast NetworkSign up: analog*Borderlands [new]letter Hyperlyte Hotline - RUNMORE649 (786.667.3649)Wylder is now available on iOS + Android.Salt Lake Foothills Trail Races | 30 May 2026PartnersHyperlyte Liquid Performance - 100g Carbs, 1000mg Sodium, Miles of DirtNaked Sports Innovations - I wear this running belt EVERY TIME I RUN.______________RUNNING GEARNaked Running Band Path Projects Apparel La Sportive Prodigio Pro PODCAST GEAROSMO Pocket 3 Shure MV7 Neewer MS60B
