James Leitner is passionate about getting people access to clean drinking water. These days he’s working hard to make a difference in Uganda and it was a treat to hear his story and learn about why he created Mission Clean Water. He’s been able to make an impact through his trail events and the sport made its way into his heart in a big way. Put all of these things together and it’s why he’s happy to chat about why he carries 45 pounds of water and how he feels it’s an easy way to represent the challenge so many women and children face.
We talked about Scott Snell during the interview:
Ep. 12 Last trail runner standing. With Capital Backyard Ultra Champion Scott Snell
Scott Snell ran 254.167 miles (409.04 km) in just under 62 hours (finishing 62 yards) to capture the Capital Backyard Ultra title on May 28, 2022. An absolutely incredible feat that he accomplished without a crew!
