Mammoth 200, Bear 100 Showdown & Trail Running World Championships!

Jake and Mick dive into ultrarunning chaos in this episode, recapping the Mammoth Trail Fest and previewing the Bear 100 showdown between Zach Garner and Chepé, while also tackling hot topics like Karl Malone’s resurfaced scandal, doping debates, and cancel culture in sports. They break down training for DC Peaks and 200-mile races, the viral Karl Malone TikTok that lit up social media, and drama from the Track & Field Worlds, including Sydney McLaughlin’s dominance and Cole Hocker’s wild DQ-to-victory story. The conversation shifts to Mammoth Trail Fest highlights, Coleman Craigin’s breakout performance, prize money debates, and UTMB’s growing influence before heading into bold predictions for the Bear 100, the Sarah-dominated women’s field, and a Worlds preview featuring Caleb Olson, Jim Walmsley, and Francesco Puppi.
