Race Across Scotland 2026 with Jessi Morton-Langehaug - Season 16 Eps 7

Race Across Scotland 2026 with Jessi Morton-Langehaug - Season 16 Eps 7

From Utah’s mountains to Scotland’s bogs, this one gets wild...

This week we're joined by ultrarunning powerhouse Jessi Morton-Langehaug, who travelled from the USA to tackle the 215-mile Race Across Scotland and came away with a second-place finish, countless stories, and a whole new respect for Scottish terrain.

We chat about overcoming Lyme disease, racing through bogs, fog and torrential rain, surviving on minimal sleep, falling into peat bogs, seeing imaginary dragons in the darkness, and the unexpected friendship that developed with fellow runner George Jones over three days on the Southern Upland Way.

Along the way, Jessi shares her no-nonsense approach to foot care, fuelling, mental resilience, and why Scottish race organisers and volunteers are among the best in the world.

In this episode:

  • Lyme disease and running against the odds
  • Race Across Scotland from an American perspective
  • Bogs, blisters (or lack of them) and foot care hacks
  • Sleep deprivation and trail hallucinations
  • Real food fuelling for 200+ mile races
  • Scottish hospitality, yum yums and baked potatoes
  • The power of kindness in ultrarunning


"Positivity and kindness is just a full circle." - Jessi Morton-Langehaug, 2026
