"Running at home is always very special... especially this race, I pretty much run out the door to the start. Which is a wild concept." Bianca Tarboton

In this special bonus episode of The RMB UTCT (The Place We Run) Series, Host Dean Horwitz is joined by local legend Bianca Tarboton. Fresh off the cover of Runner's World, Bianca opens up about the reality of navigating a season of extreme highs and injury lows, and what it truly means to have a "home ground advantage" on Table Mountain.

🎯 In this episode, you’ll hear:

✅ Why Bianca traded a future as a doctor for the trails to live "a dream I never knew I wanted."

✅ The mental shift from "Expectation" to "Curiosity" to manage the pressure of a home race.

✅ Her transition to ultras and why the 55km route profile perfectly matches her racing style.

✅ Her pride in the sport's explosive growth and the new opportunities opening up for development athletes.

✅ Why success isn't just a podium, but the ability to "problem solve" through the highs and lows

Whether you are stepping up to a new distance or navigating life's highs and lows, this episode is a powerful reminder to choose curiosity over pressure and embrace the magic of racing at home.
