Trail Talk

The CCC reaction show from The Refuge, recorded in the Kailas FUGA store in Chamonix. Aaron and Pippa are joined by Robbie Britton to break down the race: Yngvild Kaspersen winning it off a DNF at mile 98 of Western States, the level crossing at Trient that stopped Toni McCann in the lead, Jennifer Lichter fourth with States still in her legs, Cristian Minoggio breaking the elastic on the climb at 50k, Miguel Arsenio coming through late on the technical ground, and over 100 DNFs at Trient as the hail came in. Then the champion Cristian Minoggio and Miguel Arsenio join the show to talk through their own races.

Episode three of The Refuge. Aaron and Pippa are joined by Katharina Hartmuth and Robbie Britton, live from the Kailas FUGA store beside the arch in Chamonix. Katharina has been on the UTMB podium twice, second in 2023 and third in 2025, so she takes us through the course and where it actually gets won and lost. Robbie on coaching elites to perform at this race and what separates the ones who deliver from the ones who do not. Plus the Bob Graham Round record Katharina took a few weeks ago, and her return to the Tor des Géants as course record holder and 2024 champion.

Episode two of The Refuge. Aaron and Pippa are joined by Holly Page and Dave Ryan, live from the Kailas FUGA store beside the UTMB arch in Chamonix. Holly has run the CCC twice and takes us through the course: the fast start out of Courmayeur, the zigzags, Grand Col Ferret and the long descent into Champex-Lac, and why there is no crewed aid station at Trient this year. Dave talks through his UTMB build and a full recce at race pace. They get into the poles debate, what the weather does to a course that has been bone dry, the women's field with Jennifer Lichter coming off Western States, and a men's race with 18 athletes over 900.
