Run The Whites

Ben Thompson is an accomplished New England trail runner who first came on my radar in 2017 when he set the FKT on the Presidential Traverse. Little did I know he had a deep history of trail running in NH, MA and a stint in TN. On Sunday he reclaimed his FKT of the Pemi Loop and we nerd out about his training, big efforts, and how his dog Wish became a speedy mountain dog.
