Matt Hart on NPR's Seattle Station KUOW
Airing at 2:05pm Januray 15, 2009 - The Cascade Crest is a 100-mile ultramarathon that starts in Easton Washington and winds through forests and mountains. There's a five mile stretch called the "Evil Forest."
Runners traverse it at night, after running all day and gaining thousands of feet in elevation. There are rocks, roots and dozens of steep gullies. Seattle-based ultrarunner Matt Hart lives for challenges like this. He's running the Cascade Crest this August. He's an accomplished adventure racer who seeks out grueling endurance competitions.
In 2006, Matt was part of a local team that narrowly averted tragedy while racing through the Mojab Desert
