A post-race conversation with Karla Borland and Joe Turner, female and male winners of the 2025 Hundred Hills 50k, hosted by Centurion Running.

Both Karla and Joe come from a road ultra background; both have competed at the Anglo-Celtic Plate road 100k champs, and Joe represented Great Britain at the 100k World Champs in 2024. It was great then to find out more about the differences between road and trail ultras as they see it, and find out more about their goals for 2025.
