Back in December of last year, a guy reached out about wanting to come on the show to talk about the Barkley Fall Classic in 2026. Once I had the date, I added it to my potential future episodes spreadsheet, and when the time came around, I reached back out to him!
John Calbarese comes on the show to talk about many of the events that he has done, how he feels about DNFs, what he loves about the adventure, the magic of food related ultra races, the Barkley fall classic, and more!
