My interview with Nicholas Wittkopp before the 2025 Big Texas Ultra 100K Championship. Earlier this year, he smashed the course record by over 10 minutes at the East Texas Ultra 50K on a very hot and humid day to punch his ticket to the championship. Nicholas will be making his 100K debut on Saturday. Although he is relatively new to the ultra world, he brings a wealth of NCAA Championship-level experience and a patient mindset to the starting line.
