Candice Burt has arguably contributed more to the sport of ultrarunning in the last 5 years than any other entreprenuer. Arguably, I know. I admit it.
200 Milers are hot right now primarily because supply demand are farily matched. Demand isn’t enormous and neither is supply though demand might be slightly higher as these races are selling out.
Every brand is trying to get into it with Janji appearing to be a clear frontrunner.
Candice Burt created the 200 mile distance races in america with Destination Trail Races, increased the demand for them, and then other Race Directors followed suit.
Without Candice Burt, I think we’d still be hyper focused on the 100 miler but somehow through her innovation, she built demand for 2x the distance capturing the imagination of David Goggins, Cam Hanes, and many more notable people.
In this episode, we recapped her crazy accomplishment of a million days in a row of running 50k or more. Absolutely wild. Enjoy.
