The Birth-K sparked something extraordinary, and now Ross and Petar are here to reflect on their journey—mud, memories, and all—while exploring the heartbeat of Chico’s running culture. Whether you’re here for the behind-the-scenes tales, the spirited banter (serious runners? not really...), or the chance to meet the incredible people pounding the trails and roads of Chico, this podcast is your go-to for all things running—and a lot of things not running. From the history of the running community to favorite routes, future challenges, and even the big existential question, “Why do we even run?”, Ross and Petar serve up insights, laughs, and plenty of moments where things didn’t go quite as planned.

From the familiar trails of Bidwell Park to the rugged peaks of Mont Blanc, Logan takes us on a journey of endurance, emotion, and community impact. We kick things off with a local spotlight: Logan’s role in organizing Bidwell Run Club’s speed workouts and previewing the Fleet Feet Fall Trail Classic course. We also celebrate BRC's civic spirit during the 38th Annual Chico Enviornmental Council Bidwell Park & Creek Clean-Up, where a great crew tackled the Lindo Channel with heart and hustle. Then we shift gears to the main event: UTMB 2025. Logan recounts his arrival in Chamonix, the electric atmosphere leading up to race day, and the unforgettable overhead clap ritual—a thunderous, rhythmic welcome that echoed through the valley and set the tone for the adventure ahead. Throughout the episode, we weave in listener-submitted questions that spark reflections on gear, mindset, international trail culture, bathroom breaks and what it truly means to finish strong. Logan opens up about navigating wild weather, adapting strategy on the fly, and the surreal beauty of the course. He shares stories from aid stations that felt like mini-festivals, moments of connection with runners from around the world, and the emotional lift of having his family cheering him on. We dive into the mental game- mantras, breakthroughs, and the quiet battles fought in the dark. Logan reflects on the gear that helped him during his race, the nutrition that kept him moving, and the cinematic moments that made UTMB feel like something out of a dream. He even offers a message for anyone dreaming of their own UTMB start line.
