Welcome to the Ultrarunner Magazine podcast, thanks for joining us today.
Today we’re privileged to talk to Ultra Trail Drakensberg Race Director and founder Spurgeon Flemington who shares a passionate insight into the events development and deep connection with the mountains, traversing an iconic wilderness steeped in culture amongst the highest mountains in Southern Africa.
Spurgeon shares an insight into setting up the events, the range of distances, the trails the races follow, the challenges along the way and it highlights that the ‘passions extend beyond the events to the environment in which he works and lives’, “directly raising funds to support projects benefiting the local area helping to improve the surrounding environment and its wild inhabitants.”
