TRAINER: ZANDY MANGOLD (ATACAMA CROSSING CHAMPION)

Zandy grew up amongst the roots and rocks of rural New Hampshire, but has lived in Brooklyn, NY since 2001.

Zandy went on to WIN the Atacama Crossing. He recently finished the Western States in under 24 hours and completed the Spartathlon (Greece), a 150-mile nonstop race.
