Like the Wind Storytelling
Go Feel Free
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.
The Valley Holds
Not every iconic race starts with a grand vision. Some just start with a mountain, a path, and enough people willing to run uphill. What keeps drawing the world’s runners –
Lessons Learned
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.

Put to the Test
It’s almost inevitable for athletes to encounter difficulties during a run. Running, after all, is a sport centred around problem solving: runners are always navigating issues presented by weather, nutrition, mental and physical fatigue — and many other little nuisances that make the sport as much of a puzzle as it is a pleasure.
Don’t Call It a Comeback

Perfect preparation, rest, rituals, kit choices, psychology, psyching out opponents… it’s all a game of bending reality to the athlete’s will.
Shaping new futures
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.
