Running 250 Miles on Camera, with Wes Plate

Jun 3, 2025
1h 10m

Episode Description

Wes Plate has carved out a niche documenting some of the longest footraces. He's taken on nearly every 200+ mile race in North America, he's a 5 time Cocodona 250 finisher, and like me he films the experience from a first-person perspective.


We talk about what it takes to capture these massive efforts, how his background as a professional video editor shapes his approach, and the ways in which trying to document these long races affects his experience in doing them.
