The countdown to July has begun. And with it, the anticipation for the 98th running of the Mount Marathon Race—an explosive, lung‑searing, tradition‑soaked battle up and down the cliffs of Seward, Alaska. Every Fourth of July, this tiny coastal town swells from 3,000 locals to nearly 30,000 spectators, all drawn by a race many call the toughest 5K on Earth.
Which means it’s time for another episode of the TURD Podcast (Trail Ultrarunning Race Directors Podcast).
🎙️ Season 2, Episode 7
This month, host Shalini Bhajjan, Founder and Race Director of Terrain Trail Runners–STL, sits down with Matias Saari, the man at the helm of Mount Marathon. A former elite mountain runner turned race director, Matias carries the weight of a century‑old legacy—guiding a race that has shaped Alaskan identity and tested generations of athletes.
We dive into his journey from journalism to race leadership, his stewardship of both Mount Marathon and the Equinox Marathon, and what it means to protect a race that’s as wild, unpredictable, and fiercely beloved as the mountains themselves.
