USA Men's 80K Team | 2022 World Trail Running Championships Gold Medal Recap

Adam Peterman, Adam Merry, Jeff Colt, and Eric LiPuma represented the United States men’s team and won the gold medal in the 80K event at the World Trail Running Championships in Chang Mai, Thailand earlier this month. In this conversation, we cover a lot of ground including why they chose to race this event over other opportunities in our sport, what training and the rest of the lead-up to the event was like, what the ambiance was like in Chang Mai, how the race unfolded for each of them, post-racing feelings, whether they’d do it again, and what 2023 looks like for all of them.
