Southwest Super Tour
Anton Krupicka is an icon of mountain running in the USA. At 23-years-old he won Leadville 100 in Colorado and more recently has blazed a high altitude trail on extensive bikepacking tours. This March, Anton took on a near-2000 mile loop southwest from his base in Colorado through Arizona and New Mexico, with the intention to also run and climb five desert peaks. He is, unquestionably, an athlete of the wilderness.
