# Singletrack

Singletrack is a trail and ultra running podcast hosted by Finn Melanson and Brett Hornig. Pro trail and ultra coverage released two to three times a week: a weekly news round-up, race previews and recaps, and long-form athlete interviews; most episodes run 40 to 90 minutes, with some long conversations past two hours.

## What it is
A podcast that follows professional trail and ultrarunning the way other shows follow track or the marathon majors. Around big races such as UTMB, Western States, Hardrock and Javelina it adds previews, results analysis and interviews with the top finishers. Between races it runs weekly news and long conversations with athletes, coaches and race organizers.

## Why listen
- Race-by-race analysis and predictions for the main ultra events, followed by recaps and interviews with podium finishers.
- A weekly Singletrack News episode on the business and results of pro trail running.
- Long interviews with figures such as Anton Krupicka, Joe Grant and Ian Corless on the sport's history.
