Athlete of the Week: Jacob Banta šø
Based in Mill Valley, California, @banta.visuals has gone from capturing pro trail runners to becoming one himself (though he still does both).
This year, he earned a Western States Golden Ticket with a runner-up finish at Tarawera 102K, clocked 16:43:25 in his Western States debut, and wrapped up October with a fourth-place finish at Javelina Jundred in 12:23:29. In the rain. On Halloween. NBD.
For Jacob, the trails are where he connects āmost with God, others and our beautiful planet.ā
Get to know Jacob and explore the gear behind his latest 100-mile performance on Rendezvu.

Pre race Porto, realizing I have hands down the most handsome crew in ultra running, hugs, lots of hugs, gear check, GO TIME!

Flawless pit stops all day long. Colby, Matt and Tommy were a well oiled machine and I never spent more than a minute in aid thanks to them.
The voice in the beginning of this slide was GU athlete manager Yuri who was there in his wonder woman costume each lap to cheer me in and keep the vibes sky high all day.

The finish line. Itās never not special. This one felt extra special because my mom came out to support and I got to hug her neck when I crossed the line.
I missed the golden ticket but I ran a race Iām really proud of and a time I never thought would be possible for me.
I donāt know how I lucked out in life enough to be surrounded by such inspiring, loving and supportive people but I sure am grateful for it.

Known for its heat and dry trails, Javelina Jundred delivered a very different kind of challenge: very wet conditions, a stacked field, and one of the most competitive menās races of the weekend.
Amazfit ambassador @banta.visuals stayed in the fight for all five loops, finishing 4th in 12:23:29.
99.02 miles tracked. Five loops to break down. Swipe through the numbers behind his race.
Well fought, Jacob! š

Jacob Banta: 4th place, Javelina Jundred
A hundred miles is a long way to go in ideal conditions. Add rain and the race takes on a different challenge.
@banta.visuals crossed the finish in 12:23:29 to secure a 4th place finish.
What a run, Jacob. š«”

Jacob Banta has spent years at races like Javelina and Western States with a camera, a few feet from the moments everyone else watches later.
Saturday he's on the other side of the lens. "I honestly never thought I'd be in this position." He finished Western States this summer, and three of the four commentators on our Shakeout Show picked him for a Golden Ticket.
He used to come here to photograph Katie and Raj. Now he gets to try to run with them.
The Javelina Jundred starts Saturday morning. Watch live on @mountainoutpost.

It feels like Western States was just yesterday, but Iām already lining up for another shot at a Golden Ticket at the Javelina Jundred this Saturday, October 31st. Feeling fitter than ever and ready to go.
Being competitive on the trails these days means mixing things up. My training has taken me from long miles on the road to the track and back to the trails, with a little bit of everything in between.
Swipe through for a look at some of my key sessions heading into Javelina, including a 27-mile long run, a track workout, and a little tune up trail race at the Sonoma Fall Classic. See you out there!

A day in my life as I prep for the Javelina Jundred this Saturday!

@banta.visuals wins the @sonomafallclassic 13.1!!!!

The highs in Marin this week have been flirting with 90 degrees so itās been perfect conditions for Javelina training. Iām feeling fit, speedy and excited to see how it all comes together in a couple more weeks!
This weekend Iām pinning on a bib at the Sonoma Fall Classic trail half for one last dress rehearsal before Javelina. Canāt wait to get out there and bake in the Lake Sonoma heat with a few hundred friends.
Peace, love and jogging āļøā¤ļøšāāļø

One step closer to Javelina Jundred with his sights set on another golden ticket šļø
This past weekend trail ambassador @banta.visuals ran the PrƩalpes Trail du Mouret 38k in 3:40:23, good for 2nd and dipping under the previous course record.
The build hasnāt exactly been conventional. Leading up to this race, Jacob took on The Speed Project CHX, a 350-mile relay from Chamonix to Marseille, covering 80 miles solo across 40 hours and very little sleep. During UTMB week, the focus shifted: less mileage, more strength, and time to recover before the next block of training.
We caught up with Jacob high above Chamonix on Le BrƩvent to capture a piece of the work behind what comes next.
