Now streaming on YouTube: Ocean to Atlas

We teamed up with Jake Catterall to capture his recent quest to travel from the Atlantic coast of Morocco to the High Atlas Mountains, finishing at the summit of Mount Toubkal, the highest peak in North Africa at 4,167 meters. The 348 km route, which Jake built entirely in Footpath, climbs 13,652 meters and weaves together rugged trail and long stretches of road through a formidable landscape. Along the way, he battled extreme heat, high elevation, tricky crew vehicle logistics, and the constant need to manage water and salt intake.

Alyssa Clark on the Artistry of Mapping

Meet Alyssa Clark. Professional runner for On, coach, cat mom, and all-around stellar human, Alyssa just claimed 2nd place at the Lavaredo 120K, finishing only 29 minutes and 11 seconds behind the legendary Courtney Dauwalter. We sat down with Alyssa to uncover how route planning factored into her race strategy. From course recon runs in the Dolomites to precision shakeout routes mapped in Footpath, every line she plotted boosted her confidence and left her fully prepared for race day.

How Olympic distance runner Graham Blanks maps victory

For professional distance runner Graham Blanks, training isn’t just about putting in the miles, it’s about making every run intentional. A standout at Harvard University and sponsored by New Balance, Blanks is a two-time NCAA Champion who won back-to-back NCAA Division I Cross Country titles, only the 4th athlete in NCAA history to do so, and the youngest since Steve Prefontaine. He took that success to the world stage, competing in the men’s 5000m at the 2024 Olympics, where he placed 9th in the final with a time of 13:18.

The Art of Mapping

At Footpath we believe that mapping is not just a means to an end but an art form, a way to engage deeply with the environment before ever setting foot on the trail.
