Trail running
In the background, but not forgotten
As Caleb Olson jogged around the track at Placer High School to win the 2025 Western States Endurance Run, dozens of photographers and filmmakers followed him while the crowd on the infield and in the bleachers roared in celebration.
In it for the Long Haul
The first time Fuzhao Xiang went to Chamonix for Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB), it wasn’t just the speed or grit of the top female finishers that inspired her — it was their age.
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.
Raising the Bar
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.
