Adventure Edge Radio with Jimmy Buff: Episode 9

We’ve got the race report for the Spartathlon – a 152-mile run between Athens and Sparta in Greece that traces the footsteps of a hero of antiquity. We also have the results of a report that says running slows the aging process. Good news for all you runners.

This week on Adventure Edge Radio we take a look at the dam that burst in the Grand Canyon and the danger it posed for outdoor enthusiasts on the grounds of Havasupai Indian Reservation. Supai, as the area is fondly called by residents and visitors, is a popular camping and hiking destination in the Grand Canyon. It’s an absolutely breathtaking area, with crystal clear aquamarine streams and waterfalls nestled between tall canyon walls. But it’s also prone to flooding in the monsoon months (but never to this degree).
