The Duluth Rundown

In a second TDR Podcast with Adam (after 7 years!), Tony and Mike catch up on some new material. Adam had the unique opportunity to pace and crew gold medal Olympian Jessie Diggins at the 2026 Superior Fall Trail Race, so naturally many questions came up from that experience. Adam also talks about his own thoughts on trail ultramarathons, nutrition, injury prevention, skiing and more. Listen in for some excellent words of wisdom and exciting stories, whether you are interested in 100-mile trail races or not!

The September 2026 Rundown is full of recent race results from the Fall NMTC series, and other races from trail to road, 1 to 100 miles. There are many, many upcoming races to choose from as the season winds down, so listen in for a listing of all types of events coming up. Do you have a race in mind that’s coming up or with results to share? Let us know by emailing [email protected]! Tony and Mike discuss trail conditions, Tony’s Coach’s Corner segment includes a lively discussion about dropping out of races and where to go from there if it happens to you, and Mike talks about his Route of the Week. The guys answer questions from podcast listeners and have a few shout-outs to round out the episode.  

In this month’s TDR Interview, Tony and Mike sit down with recent 2026 Duluth East graduates Taylor and Will to talk about their budding running careers, their thoughts and feelings on moving onto collegiate running, and a bit of a unique twist on the standard Duluth Rundown interview process. Listen in to hear about Taylor and Will’s favorite memories running in Duluth for East cross country and track, how they got started with running, and what they’re most looking forward to as they get into college running and beyond!

Right in the middle of northern Minnesota’s racing season, we have heaps of race results to report. Upcoming races include the NMTC Fall Trail Race Series, the Minnesota Mile, Superior Fall Trail Races, NorthShore Inline Marathon/Run, and few others. Trail conditions are excellent – get out there! We had a listener suggestion/question for this month’s Coach’s Corner regarding how to best warm up for a 1 mile race (with the MN Mile coming up). Tony recaps an epic bike trip and Mike is into trail running lately. Mike reviews a pair of Mount to Coast trail running shoes, and the Route of the Week is unveiled.  Did we forget any races? Do you have a shout-out or piece of gear that you really like? Send us an email at [email protected]! We love to hear from our listeners.

Jarrow probably doesn’t need much of an introduction. He is a previous interview subject years back in the early days of The Duluth Rundown. This month, we pick Jarrow’s mind on his recent Grandma’s Marathon finish and upcoming attempt to finish his 12th Voyageur 50 Mile Trail Ultramarathon. Listen in to hear some excellent stories from perhaps the only person to be at every single Voyageur race.
