You didn't plan it. You just followed it. And maybe, for a few minutes, running felt less like exercise and more like something else entirely: escape, curiosity, a small private adventure.

Scandinavia is a quiet, unassuming part of the world. Sparsely populated – outside of the big cities of Sweden, Norway and Denmark – it's a land of forests, towering sea cliffs and the midnight sun, when summer days last for 24 hours.

There is a moment Fred Comte describes that captures something essential about Chamonix. It is the end of June, the trails are thick with rhododendrons in bloom, and the Mont-Blanc massif looms white and vast over the trails.

Quoting T.S. Eliot might seem an odd choice when trying to explain why an elite trail runner carried a feeling of unfinished business for more than a decade before coming back to redeem himself in the race that had tripped him up so badly early in his career.

In August 2025, Jazmine Lowther set both the supported and unsupported Fastest Known Time (FKT) for women on the Grand Teton — the tallest peak in the Teton Range of Wyoming, which towers at 13,776 feet. Supported, she ran the route in 3h51m12s. Then, one week later (and just hours before a 12pm flight out of Jackson, Wyoming), she set the unsupported record in 4h6m58s.

Sport, at the top level, is all about controlling the controllables. The best athletes in any discipline have mastery over as many of the different elements that make up their sport as possible. Perfect preparation, rest, rituals, kit choices, psychology, psyching out opponents... it’s all a game of bending reality to the athlete’s will.

On race day, it looks like the simplest story in sport: one runner, one trail, one finish line. A lone figure moving through mountains, stripped to the essentials, chasing something intensely personal.

The Art of Self Expression

In "See Those Flowers?" a portrait of Martin Kern strives to resolve the question of whether running is art. The answer is not as simple as it first appears.
