Ahead of His Time:
A Conversation with Matt Carpenter
Before the sport had a professional class, before GPS watches and carbon-plated shoes, before trail running was a global industry — Matt Carpenter was setting records that still stand today.
Training at altitude in Manitou Springs, competing across disciplines and distances that most runners wouldn’t dare combine, Carpenter operated in a category largely of his own making.
Decades later, the sport is still catching up.
