What an honor it was to interview two trailblazers and legends of ultrarunning. In our third episode commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Kettle Moraine 100, we welcomed to our Dirt studio the historic race's original founders, Kevin and Kris (Clark) Setnes. Before founding the Kettle 100, these two were already making headlines in the ultrarunning world. Kris was cracking top ten overall finishes in a male-dominated sport and Kevin was on his way to an American Ultrarunning Hall of Fame career. Kevin and Kris share rich stories of racing ultras all over the country, founding the Kettle Moraine 100, and lobbying the USATF for ultrarunning recognition and funding through the Mountain, Ultra, and Trail (MUT) Sport Council. The Setneses are sensational people and ultra runners. We are so proud to know them and super excited to share this episode with you.
