Northeast Trail Adventures with Eli Burakian

from Run Mountain Peaks · host Andrew Wojciak

This week I sat down with Eli Burakian. Eli wears just about every hat you can imagine in the Northeast trail scene. He’s an ultra runner, backpacker, professional photographer, author, and race director/co-founder of Northeast Trail Adventures. He just loves getting out on trails and being part of the Northeast community and it shows. We dive deep into his background managing the Moosilauke Ravine Lodge, writing guidebooks for trails and mountains in the region, and getting started with ultramarathons and FKT.We also get into co-founding Northeast Trail Adventures and his vision for the future. We break down the huge success of Mt. Ascutney Vertical Backyard Ultra and the unique format that suits us Northeast vert stackers. Plus, we talk about his upcoming running & hiking retreat he’s hosting in Gorham, NH in just a couple of weeks. There are still open slots and he offered listeners a nice discount for anyone interested. As always, I wrap up the episode with a breakdown of recent race results, local race previews, from around the New England ultra scene.Give it a listen.HOW TO FIND ELI & NORTHEAST TRAIL ADVENTURES:https://www.instagram.com/eliburakian/https://www.instagram.com/northeasttrailadventures/https://northeasttrailadventures.com/Code "RMP100" for $100 off the June 5-8 running & hiking retreat in Gorham, NH.YOUTUBEhttps://www.youtube.com/@runmountainpeaksTRAINING & NUTRITION INFOhttps://substack.com/@runmountainpeaksFREE ENDURANCE TRAINING GUIDEhttps://www.runmountainpeaks.com/run-coachingFOLLOWInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/runmountainpeaks/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61588592565447TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@runmountainpeaksThreads: https://www.threads.com/@runmountainpeaks?hl=enX: https://x.com/runmtnpeaks#TrailRunning #Northeast #WhiteMountainNationalForest
