“I mean, there’s no mountain around the world that, that feels like home. Apart from from Table Mountain.” Ryan Sandes.
Trail legends Ryan Sandes & Robbie Simpson, Friends of Table Mountain's Andy Davies & RMB Sponsorship Marketing Lead Michael Edwards discuss their deep, shared relationship with Table Mountain as a race, a refuge, and a responsibility.
Host Dean Horwitz guides the conversation to uncover what makes this landmark so much more than just a backdrop. This is the launch of our new RMB UTCT series, starting with the "living stadium" of the race and the community that makes it all possible
🎯 In this episode, you’ll hear:
✅ Ryan Sandes on why Table Mountain is the only place in the world that feels like "home."
✅ Robbie Simpson on the shock of "European style" expectations vs. the "really, really hard" reality of Cape Town's trails.
✅ The critical, year-round work Andy Davies' team does to maintain the trails we all get to run on.
✅ Michael Edwards on why the mountain is the "stadium" for this race, and why that creates a deep responsibility to protect it.
Whether you're toeing the line for the 100-miler or dreaming of the 35km, this episode will fundamentally change the way you see "The Place We Run."
