It’s not everyday we get a chance to sit down with someone like Jared Campbell. He is not only one of the most accomplished ultra runners around but a true ambassador of our sport. We touch briefly on his race resume (Barkley, Wasatch) but we really wanted to get into his upcoming event: RUFA or Running Up for Air. Air quality in Utah and especially the Salt Lake valley during the winter is…well let’s just say- horrible. When Jared was training for Barkely a few years ago he wanted to make running something more than just about himself. After some thought and talking with others he came up with RUFA.
Please have listen and check out the links below for more information. We hope to help Jared fill his event on February 11th to help raise more awareness to this issue. Whether you do the 6, 12 or 24 hour event- it is sure to be a grand time. It isn’t just about the running though- you can volunteer, donate or help spread the word.
TrailManners would like to not only thank Jared for his time but also for all he is doing.

What a perfect podcast to listen to on my way up West Grandeur in a light snow storm.
Jared is the man. Much to look up to there, both in and out of running-related accomplishments.
