 This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast, we dive deep into the 52nd running of the legendary Hospital Hill Half Marathon in Kansas City, Missouri – Kyle's ninth time tackling this challenging course that's been testing runners for over five decades. From the notorious hills that give this race its name to the unique atmosphere that makes it a Kansas City tradition, we break down every aspect of this iconic event and what keeps runners coming back year after year. We then shift gears to celebrate an incredible milestone as we honor our running buddy Dan's achievement of completing his 200th half marathon – a testament to consistency, dedication, and the pure love of the 13.1-mile distance. The episode wraps up with an important discussion about the unexpected challenge Mother Nature threw at runners across the Midwest this weekend: wildfire smoke from Canada that created hazardous air quality conditions affecting everything from the Hospital Hill Half Marathon to the Fargo Marathon. We explore how these increasingly common environmental factors impact race day decisions, runner safety, and performance, providing essential information every endurance athlete needs to understand about training and racing when air quality becomes a concern. Whether you're a Hospital Hill veteran, inspired by incredible milestone achievements, or concerned about environmental impacts on running, this episode covers the full spectrum of our weekend racing reality.
