Kyle Curtin on Running the Entire Colorado Trail in Record Time

487 miles, 90,000 ft of elevation gain, in a stunning 6 days, 15 hours, and 8 minutes. That is what Kyle Curtin just accomplished as he broke the fastest known time record for the Colorado Trail.

To pull of this amazing feat, Kyle had to have an iron-clad mindset, a dialed in strategy, a well-oiled team, and a relentless focus on moving forward. And he was able to pull it all off in the adventure of a lifetime.

Kyle not only planned and executed well for this race, but he also leaned on his extensive accomplishments in his running career, including top 10 finish at Western States 100, top 10 finish at Tor Des Geants, Course Record for Tahoe 200, FKT on the Tahoe Rim Trail, and many other wins and podium finishes. He is also a pro athlete for Altra, Tailwind, and Superganix.

In this episode, Kyle shares the stories from the trail, tips to dial in your own logistics, mindset, and nutrition, and how he was able to pull off one of the best performances in ultrarunning for 2024.

Huge thank you to Kyle for coming on the show!
