Run the Riot Podcast with Chris Ange

EP180 - Chris Ange - Swamps, Spiders, and Sweat

In this episode of Run the Riot, we sit down with Christopher Ange from Sulphur, Louisiana. Chris shares his journey from growing up in Lake Charles surrounded by Cajun and Sicilian culture to becoming a passionate ultrarunner and race director.

We talk about:

His early days running the Crescent City Classic with his dad.
Pacing a friend at his first 50K and discovering the trail running community.
Founding the No Man’s Land Trail Run after hurricanes nearly destroyed local trails.
The unique challenges and beauty of running in South Louisiana — humidity, banana spiders, gators, and all!
Balancing family, work as a chemical engineer, and training for ultras.
His experiences at Boston and Houston Marathons, and plans for the 100-mile distance at Lugaroo.
