Ben Dhiman returns to the 2025 UTMB after not making it around the loop in his first two attempts. In his first interview with iRunFar, the American talks about his background in soccer and as a thru-hiker, how he discovered ultrarunning through pacing at the Hardrock 100, some of the mistakes he made at the start of last year’s race, and how he plans to race with a bit more intelligence this time around.

For more on who’s racing, check out our in-depth men’s and women’s previews and follow our live race coverage starting Friday.
