The Bear 100 Crew- Peter Troast

In this episode, we’re diving into the Bear 100 along one of the most epic journeys in the ultrarunning world: Peter Trost’s quest to complete the Rocky Mountain Slam. For those unfamiliar, the Rocky Mountain Slam is a series of four grueling 100-mile races in the Rocky Mountains. Peters journey took him through—Scout Mountain 100, Wyoming Range 100, Wasatch 100, and finally, the Bear 100. Each race is a monumental test of endurance, strength, and mental fortitude. But no ultrarunner achieves such a feat alone. Behind Peter’s success was a powerhouse crew—Don, Lucy, and Tucker—who stood by him through every challenge the Bear 100 threw his way. From navigating the rugged terrain of the Wasatch Range to managing the highs and lows of a 36-hour push, this crew proved that teamwork is essential to ultrarunning triumphs.
