from Cultra Trail Running · host Cultra Trail Running Podcast

Dave Walker puts on some of the hardest races in the USA, from the tough as nails Worlds End Ultramarathon to the gnarly Black Forest 100k as well as serving as the RD of Eastern States 100 from 2017-19, he's no stranger to adversity both on the trails and off. Hear how Dave discovered running, going from a 5k up to the 70-mile Laurel Highlands Ultra in the span of under a year. Dave served his country in Iraq as a combat demolition engineer, has bowled a pretty high score on the lanes and is the father to three girls. We had a great time talking to Dave before we jackassed around and jumped from topic to topic like the CULTRA Squirrel. We talk the CUT112- Andy O set a new FKT which stood for an entire 20 hours when Sean Meehan went out the next day and ran 30:14. Then the combo of Mary-Louise Timmermans and Jamie Miller hammered the Menunkatunk FKT- CT still going crazy! Enjoy this episode, we did!
