You might not think of Alabama as holding many records in the world of endurance races (at least I didn’t), however, you’d be wrong! Alabama is home to the Great Alabama 650, a 650-mile paddle race down the Alabama Scenic River Trail going from the northern part of the state out to the Gulf of Mexico. Racers face whitewater, battle tidewater currents, and hike around a dozen dams in an effort to reach the ocean and are expected to finish between 7-10 days. Today we’re talking with the AL650 race director, Greg Wingo to learn just how challenging a race like this is to plan as well as compete in. Also, Adventure Sports Podcast is now a sponsor of Greg’s other race, Last Paddler Standing. Mason will be commentating during the LPS in December.To learn more about the Great Alabama 650: https://www.alabamascenicrivertrail.com/great-alabama-650/To learn more about the Last Paddler Standing: https://lastpaddlerstanding.com/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Originally published June 21, 2022Elise is a runner, author and all-round outdoors lover. In 2016 she became the first woman and youngest person to run self-supported around the coast of the UK – an adventure she was completely unqualified for, as an unexperienced runner whose athletic career consisted of one horrendous marathon dressed as a Crayola crayon. She is the author of best-selling book Coasting, which tells the story of her adventure and aims to show others that you don’t need to be the best at something to achieve something big. You just have to be the one who does it.You can buy her book, Coasting, at her website:www.elisedowning.com@elisecdowning (Instagram + Twitter)Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Hey folks! Although this episode was going to be about fly fishing basics, Dave is a podcaster, so we ended up talking quite a bit about his show, Wet Fly Swing, and not so much about fly fishing itself. However, it’s a great conversation and I really enjoyed getting to know Dave. I hope you enjoy it too!Dave’s guide for Adventure Sports Podcast listeners to get into fly fishing and some of his best tips for getting started: https://wetflyswing.com/getting-started-with-fly-fishing-the-best-tips-from-600-podcast-episodes/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
