Adventure BFFs: Anton Krupicka and Joe Grant

They are two of the most recognizable U.S. ultra runners out there, with countless media articles written both about them and by them, and even a couple of films documenting their outdoor exploration. They are also best friends living in Boulder, Colorado. We sit down with Anton Krupicka and Joe Grant to find out what it’s like to thrust oneself in the social media spotlight in the name of pursuing outdoor adventure full-time.  Listen in as we talk about:

• 2017 race plans (and rumors?)
• What they are really like, outside of the media spotlight
• Joe staring at a cat
• Anton’s open-door policy for the media (*excludes closet doors)
• Skimo racing
• Tennis
