Operation:Ultra Podcast
Summary: Operation:Ultra is a grassroots initiative created to highlight ultra running events and athletes in the South. What you’ll see on the Operation:Ultra blog and podcast is a wide variety of ultra running topics. Gear reviews, upcoming events, and tales of the everyday athlete woven into a short weekly production. We’re not professional runners. We’re everyday athletes. We have jobs and families. We juggle obligations with desires to spend time on our hobbies. We remember what it was like to look at the ultra world from the outside. We’d like to bridge the gap for beginners while still offering content to engage the veteran runner.
