RUNcensored Awards 2025 – Best Trail Runners, Shoes & Moments | RUNcensored EP54

Описание: It’s the final RUNcensored episode of the year and we’re finishing 2025 with our completely unofficial RUNcensored Awards 🏆
In this end of year episode we look back at the biggest moments in trail running and ultra running in 2025, handing out awards for trail shoe of the year, best events, best performances, most memorable moments, influencers and trail runner of the year. Expect strong opinions, honest debate and a few names that won’t surprise you.
We talk trail shoes and trainers from brands seen across UK and European trails including Salomon, HOKA, Nike, adidas, La Sportiva and Altra, before diving into the races and events that defined the year. The chat covers major events such as UTMB, Ultra-Trail Snowdonia Eryri, Trans Gran Canaria, the London Marathon, the SHE Ultra, and the ever-growing popularity of the Backyard Ultra format.
There’s a big discussion around standout performances and challenges outside of recognised races, including FKTs and personal endurance projects, before a deeper conversation about what it really takes to be an ultra endurance athlete. Huge credit is given to Sarah Perry for an incredible Backyard Ultra performance, alongside discussion of athletes including Anna Llewellyn, Jack Scott, Henrietta Alban, Holly Stables, Hugh Chatfield, Abby Hall, and Hannah Cox. We also reference broader endurance mindset comparisons through figures like Alex Honnold.
Gary shares honest advice on social media and content creation, his thoughts on the Hardest Geezer, and his own plans for 2026, including chasing a sub-2:30 London Marathon. Chris even brings ChatGPT into the conversation to pick the best trail runner, best UK trail runner, and a 2025 breakthrough athlete.
We finish the episode by naming our podcast of the year and reflecting on another huge year for the RUNcensored Podcast. If you’ve supported the show this year, thank you, and here’s to more trail running, ultra running and unfiltered chat in 2026.
