Every Runner is a Legend: Jason Green's YETI Blueprint for a Welcoming Ultra World

This week on the Dirt and Vert Podcast, we're honored to sit down with a true legend in the ultra running community, Jason Green from the Yeti Trail Runners!

Jason takes us on a deep dive into the heart of the sport, from his own personal journey into ultra running to the wild evolution of the Yeti 100 race. He gets real about the challenges of race directing and the immense joy of creating a welcoming and inclusive space where every runner, no matter their pace, feels like a champion.

We're talking about the crucial role of mentorship in keeping new runners in the sport, the authenticity that builds trust on the trails, and the lessons learned from those tough races that make us stronger. Jason's story is a powerful reminder that our sport is about so much more than just miles; it’s about the shared experiences, random acts of kindness, and the laughter that defines our incredible community.

Get ready for an honest, insightful, and inspiring conversation that embodies the very best of ultra running.
