Fred Richardson returns to the Mac Mac 200 for his third—and most grounded—attempt yet. In this deeply honest episode, Fred reflects on what it means to come back after setbacks, why this race keeps calling him, and how his relationship with the land has shifted over time.

You’ll hear:

The story behind Fred’s previous attempts (290 km and 65 km)
What changed in his mindset and approach this year
Why Mac Mac is more than a race — and not a battle to be won
How experience, presence, and humility shape the long game in ultra trail running

This is the first in our Mac Mac interview series, featuring runners and coaches taking on one of South Africa’s toughest endurance events.
