Running Your Stories

Wouter Huitzing is an ultra runner with some pedigree. Winning the Montane Spine Challenger in 2018 with a new course record and 2nd in 2019! Starting on Easter weekend Wouter set out to run 498km to set a fastest known time to complete the Pieterpad trail in his native Netherlands!

Wouter is perhaps still better known in adventure racing but has found his competitive edge in ultra running. This is a great chat with a really lovely guy! He even brought some stroopwaffles to share :-)

During the episode we talk about Wouter's story in running. Injury, alpinism, adventure racing, ultra running. We talk in more detail about the Pieterpad FKT and about the Guinness Book of records submission process!

Wouter is now in Conwy in Wales ready for the start of the Berghaus Dragon's back Race! Good Luck!
