Paul Hodgson Music Judge

15 years after Kilian Jornet's first Western States, race day arrived with that familiar mix of anticipation and respect for the miles ahead. The heat was relentless, the field deeper than ever, but out there on those familiar trails, something clicked. This wasn't about chasing ghosts from his past. It was about discovering what's still possible when you step outside your comfort zone. As for the canyons, the heat, the community that make this race legendary - they are all still here, more powerful than ever.
