Forty-two-year-old Ryan Sandes is a local and international trail-running sensation. Among his many accomplishments, he was the first person to win all four races in the 4 Desert Series, and in 2013 became the first person to ever win an ultra-trail race on all seven continents. Ryan has also won two of the world’s most prestigious 100-miler trail races: in 2011, the Leadville Trail 100 in Colorado, and in 2017, the Western States 100 on the Sierra Nevada trails in California. He is an ambassador for the prestigious Laureus Foundation, married to businesswoman Vanessa and is the father of Max. Steve Smith is a successful magazine editor and writer who penned the bestselling sports autobiographies To the Point, for bad-boy cricketer Herschelle Gibbs, SuperVan & I, for motor-racing legend Sarel van der Merwe, and Ryan Sandes’ first autobiography, Trailblazer. Steve is also an enthusiastic cyclist, having completed many multi- and single-day races around South Africa. He is arguably the country’s most experienced magazine editor, having been at the helm of Sports Illustrated, CAR, Red Bull magazine, Sawubona and, most recently, the design-led publication, VISI.
