Robyn on living and training in New Zealand

Tarawera by UTMB 2026 Recap | Golden Tickets and Key Takeaways

Tonight we recap the 2026 Tarawera by UTMB, breaking down the race results, Golden Ticket recipients, and the biggest storylines from the 102K event.

We'll analyze how the race unfolded, what it means for the Western States 100, and the key performances that defined the weekend in Rotorua.

We'll also be joined live by Robyn Lesh, the women's 50K champion, to discuss her race and experience on the course. Additional guests may join the show as well.
