After quitting at 200km in 2024, Gideon Kahl is stepping up to the Mac Mac 200 for the second time. In this candid interview, we explore what it means to line up at one of the toughest trail races in Africa—without a long resume, without guarantees, but with deep intent.
We talk:
Why Gideon is returning to the 200 miles
How he’s training, preparing, and mentally approaching the challenge
What excites (and scares) him most about Mac Mac
What it means to show up fully when the outcome is uncertain
This is a conversation about courage, clarity, and showing up for the long road ahead.
