2026 Pinellas Trail Challenge - Hottest On Record? |Pacer Live Chat 09.10.26

This year's Pinellas Trail Challenge saw even more intense sun and heat than usual. With that came a high DNF rate and slower podium finishes. We recap it all, go over the Wildcat 100, discuss Meg Eckhert's amazing 6 day record performance and look ahead on the race calendar.

Special guest, Joe Corcione, joins us to discuss new races in Florida and his plan to break in to the Florida Ultrarunning Community.
