The Trailhead

Meet The Rad New Trailhead Co-Host
Welcome Brendan Leonard to The Trailhead!
He’s the mind behind Semi-Rad, the master of stick figure cartoons, and now, he’s Zoë’s new co-host on The Trailhead. But instead of the usual "tell us about yourself" intro, we’re doing things our way. In this episode, Brendan gets interviewed by the person who knows him best—his mom.
Kathy Leonard pulls no punches in this no-holds-barred sit-down, asking about everything from poop strategies to race regrets.
We also chat about what drew Brendan to ultrarunning, why the middle of the pack is where the magic happens, and how humor helps us survive the weirdest parts of trail running.
We’re not here to chase clout or finish lines—we’re here for the characters, the comedy, and the community that make this sport what it is.
