Thu, 28 Sep 2023 - 1h 02min - 264 - Jeshurun Small | OCC Top-American
Jeshurun Small is a pro trail runner for Adidas TERREX living in Boulder, CO. Jeshurun popped on my radar after his 2nd place finish at the Canyons 50k in April where he gave all-time great Hayden Hawks a run for his money at the North American UTMB Major for 50k. Then in August, Jeshurun had an even bigger breakthrough with a 5th place at OCC -- the UTMB World final of the 50k distance. Top-5 in the world and top-American at only 25 years old.
We talk all about Jeshurun’s background. We spend a bunch of time on the Mountain Sports Program at Western State University – a support system that helped to nurture Jeshurun into the great athlete he is today, we talk about his training, his YouTube channel and being a creator in the sport. We talk about those Canyons and OCC performances, look ahead to future goals, and a lot more. Hope you enjoy the convo.

Dylan is joined on Day 3 by elite athletes, content creators, and fan favorites in the sport of trail running: Sally McRae, Sage Canaday and Billy Yang.
Sage joins us fresh off his race at TDS, which he finished last night. TDS is now nearly 100 miles and 28,000 feet of climbing, the trails are very technical, and it was even more challenging with the weather. They talk about his pulmonary embolism, his overall health and how he’s feeling physically. Fun fact: The pack that Sage wears during TDS is the Zephyr Pro Vest, the same pack we’re giving away 10 of for Freetrail Fantasy!
Sally and Billy talk about their friendship, Billy’s recent pacing of Sally, Billy’s fun surprise this week, their past experiences at UTMB and how the race and community has changed over the past decade. Everyone talks about UTMB, past races and what the courses and trails are like here in Chamonix.
The panel previews the OCC race. Who are they key players? Who do we think will win? If you’re interested in playing Freetrail Fantasy this week, make sure to tune in!
Finally, Tim Perry, who works in product and brand at CamelBak joins the panel to talk brand, product, UTMB partnership, and athlete strategy for the brand.
Editor’s Notes:
There are 118 nations participating in UTMB this year.
Courtney is actually Bib #1, not Jim.
Make sure you play Freetrail Fantasy and pick 10 deep for both men and women for each participating race (OCC, CCC and UTMB). Go get your picks in. Make sure to stay tuned for the rest of the Good Morning, Mont Blanc shows this week where we will be doing race previews for all three races, and interviews with top contenders.

Welcome to Day 2 of Good Morning, Mont Blanc. This is the inaugural year of Freetrail’s daily morning show, kicking off with the 20th anniversary of the Ultra Trail Mont Blanc (UTMB), the most important global event in the sport of trail running. The show is hosted each day by professional athlete, Dylan Bowman.
Dylan is joined on Day 2 by three incredible individuals: Topher Gaylord, Keith Byrne and Doug Meyer. Topher was instrumental in founding the UTMB and has been around since the very beginning. Today, he is still the highest placing American male in the UTMB, placing 2nd in 2003. Keith has been at UTMB since 2004 where he has held many roles at the race including, most recently, leading the race commentary. Doug Meyer wrote the book, The Race That Changed Running: The Inside Story of UTMB, and has been privy to many of the important stories behind this race over the years.
They discuss how Topher helped identify and join the UTMB as the founding sponsor when he was leading The North Face in Europe in the early 2000s and why he knew it was going to become one of the best races in the world.
Keith has a longstanding relationship with Catherine and Michael Poletti and pulls the curtain back on their dynamic. UTMB has been a passion project for the Polettis and, as Keith says, they have always focused on their values and what they believe is the spirit of trail running. The team discusses some of the disagreements and controversies that have grown from the race and how things need to shift to keep up with the developing sport and world.
Topher and Keith also discuss what it was like being part of The North Face family in the early days of race sponsorship. The race connected and created bonds with their work family that endure today.
