In this episode, Emkay and Dani cover the Uphill World Championships happening this weekend in Spain. On the men's side, reigning champion Patrick Kipngeno (KEN) will face fierce challenges from Remi Bonnet (SUI), Joe Gray (USA), and Christian Allen (USA). Without Andrea Mayr in the field, the women's race will crown a new champion, with Philaries Kipngeno as the top returner, Laura Tottenroth in red-hot form, and Nina Engelhard (GER) and Scout Adkin (GBR) among the favorites. Team battles add another layer of excitement, with Germany fielding one of its strongest women's line-ups in years and Kenya looking to defend its reputation. On the men's side, Team USA will aim to dethrone Kenya, but not without the looming challenge of Uganda, whose untapped talent could shake up the podium.Follow us:Instagram: @emkaysulli | @dan_yell_aPodcast: @the_subhub_pod Episode Sponsors:Neversecond: Use code SUBHUB25 for 25% off your purchase-- never2.comWild Strides Paper Co - Use code SUBHUB15 for 15% off our collab sicker packBeekeepers Natural: Use code SUBHUB20 for 20% off your purchase-- www.beekeepersnaturals.comPit Viper:Click this link for 20% off at checkout
In this episode, Emkay and Dani dive into the Short Trail World Championships, where Spain enters as the undeniable team to beat on both the men's and women's sides. The men's field is headlined by Antonio Martínez, Andreu Blanes, and Manuel Merillas, giving Spain incredible depth, but they'll face stiff competition from David Sinclair (USA), Davide Magnini (ITA), and Kristian Jones (GBR). On the women's side, Switzerland's Judith Wyder stands out as the athlete to beat, while Spain's Sara Alonso and Malen Osa add to the nation's powerhouse line-up. Clementine Geoffray (FRA) and orienteering legend Tove Alexandersson (SWE) round out a stacked women's race that promises fireworks from start to finish. With Spain's depth across both squads, the real question is whether anyone can rise up to challenge their dominance.Follow us:Instagram: @emkaysulli | @dan_yell_aPodcast: @the_subhub_podEpisode Sponsors:Neversecond: Use code SUBHUB25 for 25% off your purchase-- never2.comWild Strides Paper Co - Use code SUBHUB15 for 15% off our collab sicker packBeekeepers Natural: Use code SUBHUB20 for 20% off your purchase-- www.beekeepersnaturals.comPit Viper:Click this link for 20% off at checkout
In this episode, Emkay and Dani break down the Mountain Classic World Championships, where Kenya once again comes in as the team to beat. On the men's side, the trio of Philemon Kiriago, Michael Selelo, and Paul Machoka return as heavy favorites, but they'll face strong challenges from David Norris (USA), Abel Chebet (UGA), and the American duo of Cam Smith and Taylor Stack. The women's race is equally compelling, with Kenya's Joyce Muthoni and Valentine Jepkoech Rutto leading the charge. They'll be pushed by top contenders Scout Adkin (GBR), Nina Engelhard (GER), Oria Liaci (SUI), Anna Gibson (USA), Martyna Młynarczyk (POL), and Lauren Gregory (USA). With Kenya's proven dominance clashing against deep international talent, this race has all the makings of a classic showdown.Follow us:Instagram: @emkaysulli | @dan_yell_aPodcast: @the_subhub_podEpisode Sponsors:Neversecond: Use code SUBHUB25 for 25% off your purchase-- never2.comWild Strides Paper Co - Use code SUBHUB15 for 15% off our collab sicker packBeekeepers Natural: Use code SUBHUB20 for 20% off your purchase-- www.beekeepersnaturals.comPit Viper:Click this link for 20% off at checkout

Send us a textTwo of trail running's most beloved podcasts collide in this dynamic exploration of the sport's evolution, challenges, and future. The hosts of SubHub and Steep Stuff dive deep into trail running's identity crisis, debating whether "short trail" or "sub-ultra" better describes races under marathon distance – a conversation that reveals much about how we frame our sport's narrative.The discussion moves through fascinating territory, examining how races can achieve iconic status in today's sponsorship-driven landscape. Can events survive without being part of major series like Golden Trail? The hosts identify community integration as the secret ingredient behind legendary races like Zegama and Mount Marathon, where locals have embraced these events as cultural touchstones rather than merely athletic competitions.Perhaps most illuminating is the frank conversation about athlete longevity and economics. While shorter distances might extend competitive careers, financial realities often push talented runners toward ultras prematurely. Geographic advantages become starkly apparent as the hosts acknowledge how athletes based in trail running hubs like Boulder or California's mountain towns enjoy significantly better sponsorship opportunities than equally talented runners from other regions.The episode culminates with a celebration of standout performers, highlighting athletes like Jen Lichter ("possibly the best mountain 50K runner on the planet right now"), Anna Gibson, and remarkably, Ryan Becker – a consistent podium finisher still without major sponsorship. Rising stars like Mason Copey, Taylor Stack, and Courtney Coppinger round out this insightful assessment of trail running's current competitive landscape.Whether you're a competitive trail runner, industry insider, or passionate fan, this collaboration offers rare insight into the sport's growing pains and potential future.

EmKay is joined by special guest Rachel Drake to preview the fields at the Broken Arrow Skyrace 46K. This race is not only a fantastic stand-alone short trail race, but it is also the selection race for the 2023 World Mountain and Trail Championships Short Trail team. The fields are incredibly stacked so it was hard to narrow it down to our eventual podium picks. We have two former Broken Arrow champions returning on both the men's and women's side and plenty of former Team USA athletes. We are having major FOMO about racing, but are so stoked to get to watch it unfold as well.
