Butch Slabach: Home Dirt Battles, Cruisin' LeSabres, and East Coast Trail Traditions

From cruising around in a classic Buick LeSabre to toeing the line at some of the most iconic ultras on the East Coast, Aaron “Butch” Slabach has quietly become one of the region’s most consistent and respected endurance athletes.

We talk about his early start at the Kanawha Trace 50K at just 17 years old, a big win at Highlands Sky, and throwing down at races steeped in East Coast trail tradition — Hellgate, Promise Land, and Mountain Masochist.

Also: showing up on someone else’s home turf hoping to take the W… and the story of two guys that once shared a bench seat and a milkshake that might surprise you.
