The Shakeout Podcast: The High Risks of Running

After a near-fatal climbing accident, Adam Campbell tells his story of struggle and survival.

On August 30, 2016, elite ultrarunner Adam Campbell was alpine running in the Selkirk Mountains, and fell. He fell over 200 feet and found himself lying face down in a pile of rocks and surrounded by blood. Incredibly, he survived, but had to battle back from a broken pelvis and spine. 

On this week’s episode of The Shakeout, we take you back to our conversation with Campbell, who talks about the harrowing accident and the dramatic journey of his recovery and return to racing.
