He’s been called the godfather of gnarly trail running in the Northeast, and-it's not wrong. In this episode, I sit down with Dick Vincent, founder and longtime race director of the legendary Escarpment Trail Run, a 30K through the rugged Catskills known for rocks, roots, and real-deal suffering.
We talk about:
The origin story of Escarpment and why it’s not for the faint of heart
How trail culture has evolved — and what we’ve lost (and gained) along the way
What it takes to build mental toughness that lasts beyond the finish line
What he wants to the legacy of Escarpment to be (He has someone in mind to take over!)
Whether you’re a trail veteran, a road runner dabbling in dirt, or just someone fascinated by what drives endurance athletes to suffer for fun — this one’s for you.
