About this episode

Drew Antonisse shares his journey and love for ultra running and the outdoors.

Drew Antonisse is so much more than this title. Yes, he won Hellbender...many races actually, and I wanted to hear all about it, BUT getting to know him and his journey was the highlight. I was really in awe of Drew's love for the outdoors and his love for people. He has immersed himself in the natural beauty around him...with his studies, his work and his play. Drew is intentional and spontaneous in one, which makes him even more special. His connection to others is also admirable. He makes friends literally everywhere he goes and at every race, and this has created a community for him in all corners of our great country. Drew Antonisse embodies the spirit of ultra running in every aspect. As he said to me, " Don't hesitate...just get out there and eventually you will see parallels between running and your life.
