This week, Tim Tollefson joins us once again on the WTCTA pod for a full episode. We dive into his experiences in professional ultra running, climate awareness, and the creation of Mammoth Trail Fest amidst the backdrop of a changing climate in Mammoth, CA.
We talk about:
Pivotal moments that shaped his understanding of environmental issues
The connection between climate and trail running
His experience as a race director (including his biggest surprise as an RD) and the community he’s created at MTF
The need for advocacy around public lands
Very importantly, our middle names
