Welcome back or welcome to the single track podcast. I'm your host Finn Melanson and this is another

episode of the long run archives where I'm joined by co-host Brett Hornig and special guest Tim

Tollifson to just riff pretty much freeform about the world of mountain ultra trail running for two hours.

It should come as no surprise. Tim is a dynamic

guest and brought a lot of value and laughs to the conversation. So I'll just leave it at that.

By the way, if you follow Tim on social, you know he isn't just a pro athlete. He's also the

race director of the Mammoth Trail Fest, which takes place the weekend of September 21st later this year.

There's a 50K, a 26K, a hill climb.

There's over $30,000 in prize money allocated across the events this year.

The 26K will serve as a national and world series stop for the famous Golden Trail series.

But above all that, Tim has created a bucket list experience for every single runner,

regardless of age, ability, background, or competitive intent.

So if you have ever wanted to run in the mammoth area and take part in one of the coolest,

and truly, I mean, coolest community gatherings our sport

has to offer, head over to mammothtrailfest.com and get signed up. If I was not getting married

that weekend, I assure you I would be there as well. I believe a registration opens on January 24th,

and actually stay tuned because we may also have two to three free

entries to give out to listeners of the podcast. So stay tuned for that. And Tim did not pay

me to say that. I'm a true believer when it comes to the Mimuth Trail Fest. One last thing

before we get started, this episode is brought to you by my friends at Rabbit.

They are my go-to apparel, not just for all things, trail running, but the lifestyle stuff

around it too.
