#256 - Benjamin Rodgers | Stage racing and community building
About this episode
Benjamin Rodgers (@rodgerstx) is a British ultrarunner living in Oslo with a passion for stage races and community building. He has run stage races in Nepal, São Tomé, Jordan, and most recently in Tajikistan.
Benjamin is an Arc'teryx ambassador, works as an Art Director at an ad agency that rhymes with Cos & Lo., and organizes group runs and events connected to the Arc'teryx store on Karl Johan downtown in Oslo.
(Check out the video clip from the Karl Johans Gate Ultra, when they took the train to Grua and ran through Nordmarka all the way down to the store on Karl Johan.)
Benjamin is a cracking good bloke who's drawn to extreme experiences in nature, maybe as an escape from a hyper-commercial, materialistic, AI-psychotic existence in the big city? Who know.. Find out in today's episode!
NB: This episode is a collaboration with Arc'teryx. The content isn't an ad for a specific product. They're just stoked to have me make cool content with their athletes. Follow @arcteryx.nordics on IG.
