STONE THE FLAMING CROWS! No, literally. They are terrifying. Join Eugene and Matt on this very special episode of DCR when our heroes travel to Thredbo in the Snowy Mountains for the second edition of Ultra-Trail Kosciusko by UTMB. This sophomore edition of the event threw everything at the 2750 brave souls who toe’d the line across the 27, 50, 100km, and 100 mile distances - hail, lightening storms, burning heat, driving rain. The works! Joined by special guest presenter Ali Pottinger from SQUADRUN, hear the triumphs and challenges of the weeked from the KCC (Kiwi Commentary Collective) as we run down the four days. Also listen in for bonus interviews with IRONMAN Marketing Manager Devon Beckman about what goes into making a trail event truly special, and 50km men’s winner Tuomas Kari of Finland. Dirt Church Radio. Best Enjoyed Running.
