Hosts Celeste and Danielle recount a last-minute birthday trip to Acadia National Park, camping in the car and tackling multiple trails in 24 hours. Highlights include a pre-dawn hike to watch sunrise from Cadillac Mountain, cliff and loop hikes like Gorham and Great Head, and the scramble to see Bubble Rock at Jordan Pond.

They share funny mishaps (slips, close calls, an almond joke), practical tips about trail distances, parking/permits, coffee at the summit, and praise for perfect October weather—concluding that the trip was exhausting but unforgettable.

Host Celeste Fong talks with Ray Pinney about starting trail running later in life, tackling 50-mile races and 100+ mile events, and finding purpose and community through ultras.

They discuss injuries and recovery, memorable races like Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim and the Race for the Ages, the mental highs and lows of ultra running, and how the trail community supports and inspires people of all ages.

Host Celeste Fong and guest Greg Smith recount his brutal Mogollon Monster 100‑mile race in Arizona — battling dehydration, altitude sickness, splitting headaches, and a relentless desert climb over roughly 36 hours.

They reflect on the pressure of destination races, the lifeline of family crewing (Greg's dad and grandpa), mental problem‑solving in ultras, and the lessons he’ll use for future high‑altitude races.
