Sage Canada is the past, Seth is the present & future, Anton Kurpricka is a legend!

Seth is older than sage. Seth will start a cardio decline right about this year.

Nope. Seth hasn't made the grave missed steak of gong vegan.

"going"

Congratulations to Seth. Conditions weren't optimal, but he beated Sage's time from last year.

Also, if no runners get the China Contagion from this event then race directors need to get the message that these races are perfectly safe to stage.

No more fear-mongering!!!! Just Race, Baby!!!!! I'm not getting any younger!!!!

Man you don't know what you're talking about. When did max state that? Also how did Gray "bail"? He was supposed to be racing a 12k in Europe so why would he then run marathon? Sage doesn't feel comfortable with the virus being around, he should be allowed to sit this one out. Health over wealth. Also why would brands drop these 3 and pick seth? He hasn't won anything really and to be honest guys like gray have ate him alive constantly and so would max. Stop fanboying

Max stated that when i commented on his strava activities where he was going for all these random FKT's prior to race week.

Joe Gray made his statement when I asked on facebook recently why isnt he in starting list. He said he was scared of covid and has family to take care of.

yes I was a fanboy of all 3 of these folks but for them to easily quit... not anymore.

Seth said in his vlog he was not interested in getting a shoe contract because that would end his vlog. He likes being able to wear what ever shoe he wants.

Could be many reasons for people not wanting to race. But keep going on about how you know how everyone works. You sound like a angry jogger.

Lol god forbid they don’t want to run a race.

Its looks like he technically broke the race rules this year as i believe runners were supposed to wear a facial covering during the start of the race?

From his video footage it appears Seth blatantly disregarded this rule. Even at the highly controlled start he is the only runner in the lead pack with a disposable mask on not covering his nose and mouth. It is only over his chin. The rest of the race it appears he has nothing on. Podium finishers could probably make an argument for a DQ on this technicality.

I think it's a silly rule, but it shows he's willing to bend the rules...

He was wearing one at the start but took it down/off when the gun went off. That's what the rules were. You didn't have to wear one while running.

You sound jealous

Sorry but Sage's reason was just lame. Drinking beer and eating ice cream and losing motivation. Sorry but that's just plain lame, you're paid to run.

He knew he wasn't fit enough to beat Seth and then in came the Covid excuse.

Lame.

You are the type of fan that athletes hate to have to cater to (not a fan)

how much $$$ do you guys think seth makes from youtube? i really like the guy's content. happy for him.

his wife is lowkey a little annoying but thats just me being an ahole lol

His wife his hot

You seem like the kind of fan that misinterpret info frequently. I'm a big fan of both King and Gray. I dont know about this strava comment with Max but I think your statement on Gray is not factual. He has been on plenty podcasts and also directly answered myself and others regarding Pikes and not once have I heard him say he was afraid of covid. If youre a fan, you're a bad 1 haha

Props to Seth for actually competing while the other 95% of ultra runners sit on their couches listening to CNN scare the pants off them.

Yes, I'm talking directly to Sage, The Cowboys, Miller, etc.

Looks like he's done a couple of 50k's but we're calling him an ultra runner?

His forte is climbing mountains fast. It would be interesting to see what he could do at UTMB, and other skyrunning races.

while we're being persnickety, what about his use of the wood fence to sling himself around the switchback on the downhill?? Mechanical assistance!?!
