515 : The Ultra Podcast
The best part of attending a 515km / Ultraman distance event is the life-long friendships you leave with. These events attract remarkable athletes from all walks of life and all corners of the globe. 515 : The Ultra Podcast invites you into the lives of these people who make up the Ultra family through conversations hosted by Larry Ryan, race director of Ultra TriFest Canada and the new Ultra 515 World Wide Championships held in Whistler, BC.
Join us if you are an Ironman with an aspiration toward the 515km distance; if you are a seasoned veteran of Ultratriathlon; or you just want to fill your training hours listening to inspiring stories, about epic events, told by interesting people.

S2E13 -- Race Directors continuing to grow Ultra (Steve Brown & Van Sanchez)
Today’s episode opens with a clip from YouTube, where race director Steve Brown welcomes racers to the 2016 Ultra520K Canada. Steve is the OG race director for UMC and has also directed Ironman Canada. I find out if Steve intends to make another run at city council in Penticton and some other exciting breaking Tri news.
Steve King Stories features an athlete who previously appeared on the podcast in episode 8 of this season, Jeremy Howard.
Finally, I catch up with Van Sanchez in Mexico who will be running the UltraMX515 Non-Stop on April 29 and 30th. Follow the race at their Instagram page.
This is your last chance to vote in the 515 Podcast Facebook Ultra Race March Madness bracket pool. The final match up closes on Saturday April 16 at midnight PST.
