Episode 54 - Zach Bates

August 08, 2023 • Marty G • Season 2 • Episode 54

Zach Bates finished Western States this year in under 24 hours at 21 years old. He's also the first autistic finisher and he got in on his first try. He's run many ultras already and is quickly becoming a seasoned vet. He's currently preparing for UTMB in which he got in first try as well. Enjoy my chat with Zach and his mom Ranna as they discuss the journey to States and beyond. He is such a mentally tough and determined athlete. I believe he will go far in the ultra world. LOL Pun intended.
