One after another these Runner’s Weekend videos are riveting, beautifully filmed and narrated and simply the next best thing to being there. As I mentioned on the LS, seeing Chamonix takes me back to being a 14 y.o. spending part of a summer with a French family there. I’m sure the breathtaking beauty of the region played a partial role in my love of the mountains. I’m so happy for and proud of J. Walmsley and Courtney D.!

Love Jim, glad to see him make it happen the 5th time. Love Zach, happy he had a great day that most years would have won. Love Courtney, she is the GOAT. These trail racers have great personalities and are fun to follow. So different from Budapest and the track, which was cool in its own way.
