What happens when a simple trail run turns into a federal case? This week on The Next Aid Station, we sit down with Michelino Sunseri to discuss one of the most bizarre sagas in ultrarunning history.Michelino wasn’t just hit with a fine or a slap on the wrist. Instead, he found himself at the center of a high-profile National Park Service crackdown—becoming the "poster boy" for a violation that normally ends with a simple citation. From being charged by the NPS to receiving an official pardon from President Donald Trump, Michelino’s story is a wild look at what happens when bureaucracy decides to make an example out of you.

We finally got Jazmine Lowther in the studio for the Next Aid Station. No rigid interview questions here—just a long-form hangout about the sport, the community, and what's going on in her life.

We have some "good news, bad news" for the community today.

First, the bad news: Technology 1, Podcast 0. We unfortunately lost the raw files for our interview with Kilian Korth. It’s a gut punch for us, and we know you were looking forward to it, but we’re working on getting him back on the schedule soon.

Now, the big news: The long-awaited DC Peaks 100 Miler is officially a go for this Fall.

We’re stepping up from the 50 to the full century mark. In this short episode, we’re breaking down:

• The Fall Timeline: When you can expect to toe the line.

• The Route: What 100 miles of DC Peaks actually looks like.

• Registration: How to get in before the spots vanish.

The Kilian episode might be gone, but the 100 miler is here to stay. Let’s get to work.
