On this episode of the Steep Stuff Podcast, we’re joined by Darius Parker to talk all things trail and mountain running! Coming off a strong performance at the 2026 WMRA Mountain Running World Cup Final in Québec, where he finished 12th, and a 5th-place finish at the Sunapee Scramble, Darius is making his mark on the mountain running scene.
We dive into his recent racing, his approach to competing against some of the best mountain runners in the world, and what it takes to perform at a high level on steep, technical terrain. Plus, we get into his training, racing experiences, and what’s next as he continues to build momentum in the sport.
Tune in for another conversation about the athletes, races, and stories shaping the world of short trail and mountain running!
