Near-death Alaska expedition

Kilian Korth - professional ultrarunner who made history by winning the Triple Crown of 200s, a series of three grueling 200-mile races: Tahoe 200, Bigfoot 200, and Moab 240. Kilian swept all three outright and set a new cumulative time record of approximately 156 hours, surpassing the previous mark set in 2019.

Join us for a conversation about what it takes to win a triple crown in 200 mile ultramarathons, how Kilian went from a full time job to full time athlete, and how his childhood and schooling made him who he is today.
