What do you say when His Majesty The King of Bhutan wants to put on an ultra marathon through the Himalaya to show the impact of climate change, and invites you to participate? A high-altitude stage race over 5 days, 126 miles, and 33,000 total feet of climbing? Well, if you’re Gabe Joyes, you say YES.
In this episode, ultra runner, coach, and teacher, Gabe Joyes sits down with Kris Hampton to share his experience in running the Snowman Race in Bhutan in 2022. The race was put on partly in celebration of His Majesty The King’s birthday, but mostly, to show the world the impact of climate change on one of the most beautiful places in the world.
While it was technically a race, Gabe walked away with a deeper purpose and responsibility to be a vocal climate steward, as well as a deep appreciation for the Bhutanese people and culture.
