Some people are wired different. Sam Harvey is one of those people. Having recently bagged the World Record Assist at Dead Cow Gully Backyard Ultra with 118 laps, winning Tarawera Ultra Trail NZ (by UTMB), and many other noteworthy performances, Sam has quickly made a name for himself in the world of elite ultra running over the last few years, and he's showing no signs of slowing down on his mission to continue competing at the highest level.
