What happens when you’re 82 miles into a 100-mile ultra, the aid station table looks like a Cuban street market, and your digestive system is already giving you side-eye? You get Food Fight Friday at the Aid Station, presented by 7 Summits Snacks. This is the only endurance sports podcast where race-day fueling meets absurd comedy.

Hosted by Jason Bahamundi (Run Tri Bike’s snack-obsessed storyteller) and Adam Lee (trail runner and professional aid station foodie), this episode features special guest Derek Sprau taking on the ultimate “Eat, Toss, or Carry” challenge. His menu? Cold rice & black beans, a ghost pepper empanada, and dulce de coco (a chalky coconut candy that might be more dental hazard than dessert).

With every laugh, the trio digs into the very real role food plays in ultras and not just as fuel, but as comfort, mental boost, and occasionally, gut-wrenching gamble. Expect practical tips disguised as punchlines, relatable mid-race dilemmas, and a healthy dose of “I can’t believe they ate that.”

If you think aid station snacks deserve their own Hall of Fame, you’re in the right place. Hit play, laugh hard, and maybe rethink that ghost pepper before your next PR attempt.
