Kevin Barata is a 46 year old trail ultrarunner who lives in Abbotsford, BC with his wife and three daughters. He has been a police officer with the RCMP for 21 years and currently works with the Emergency Response Team in the Vancouver Lower Mainland.

Kevin has been running ultra marathons since 2014 in various distances from 50km to 250 mile races. In fact he recently completed the Coccodona 250 and has run well over 150 miles in multiple backyard ultras. You have also heard us talk about Kevin on the show as the person who provided navigation and a police escort for Dave Proctor as he neared the completion of his record breaking run across Canada.

In this episode we talk about how Kevin started running trails and what it takes to train for and complete a 250 mile race. We discuss how he absolutely loves the challenge that running long distances brings and how he always embraces the journey along the way. Running for Kevin is therapeutic and a way for him to stay grounded and feel accomplished while striving to seek new challenges and surprise himself with what's possible!
