Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jake Catterall
Q: What were the biggest risks in the Alpine/Ultra Loop plan?
The biggest risks were the dangerous terrain and variable weather in the Alps, including heat waves and rockfall; we continuously weighed risk against reward and pivoted to the Super Loop when necessary to keep the project feasible within the one-month window.
Jake Catterall
Q: How did you logistically piece it all together?
The team used a staged approach beginning with the Alpine Connection, then mapped the sequence of races (MCC, OCC, TDS, CCC, UTMB, and PTL) to form a continuous loop, with contingencies and a strong focus on keeping the PTL for the end to maximize media opportunities and route availability.
Sam Heward and Bryony Shircore
Q: What was the most challenging part of the takeover process?
Coordinating with creditors, stakeholders, and landowners under tight timelines, while building two new websites and communicating a clear plan for entrants and participants.
Sam Heward and Bryony Shircore
Q: What was the conversation like within Ultra X to decide picking up the Dragon's Back when Ourea went into administration?
The discussion focused on delivering the events for runners, absorbing entries to honor commitments, and leveraging Ultra X's multi-stage model to support creditors while preserving the race's community and ethos.
Chris Mills and Debs White - Cape to Glen
Q: What is the intended scale and community impact of the event?
The organizers aim for a small field, a personal experience, and minimal disruption to local communities, with careful landowner engagement and a commitment to running a responsible, intimate race rather than a large commercial production.
