About this listen

In this episode of After the Athlete, we chat with Dale Garland, the Run Director of the Hardrock 100. Before leading one of the most iconic ultramarathons in the world, Dale was an ultrarunner himself—pushing limits on the trails and even helping open the Colorado Trail through his own miles.


After an injury brought his running career to an unexpected end, Dale was forced to redefine his identity and relationship with the sport he loved. Instead of walking away, he found a new purpose—helping build, shape, and lead a race that represents grit, community, and the true spirit of endurance.


We talk about the transition out of running, what it means to stay connected to your passion in a new way, and how sometimes your next chapter ends up being even bigger than your first. Enjoy!!
