Levi Quinton has already experienced Delirious West from the other side.
In 2026, he was part of the race team, chasing runners around the course, watching their stories unfold and getting a very close look at just how much can happen over 200 miles.
Apparently that wasn’t enough. Now he wants to run it himself. 😂
In this first catch-up for the Delirious West 2027 series, we get to know Levi and the slightly unexpected path that brought him into ultra running.
There’s a back injury, a mum who helped spark the running idea, an unplanned marathon around the suburbs and a growing appreciation for trails that eventually led him into the Ultra Series world.
We also chat about what Levi learned from watching Delirious up close, why he’s not interested in simply piling on huge training mileage, and his plan to arrive at the start line feeling ready rather than completely cooked.
And before we even get to Delirious, Levi has another fairly ridiculous challenge on the calendar involving a Stairmaster and the height of Everest. Click here to find out more
Plenty to follow with this one.
