Is Trail Running Ready for Superfans? Does UTMB Payout Enough Prize Money? Happy UTMB Week.
Happy UTMB week.
Brian Peterson (Wolfrunner) joins me on Bad Runners take to talk UTMB.
Forget about the drama surrounding UTMB over the last year for a week (if not forever). If you don't like the juggernaut of UTMB, disregard them.
But don't disregard the 10,000 people running in the mountains around Mont Blanc. This week we celebrate the human spirit taking them from point A to point B, the French culture that surrounds it, and the Heart of Trail Running moving like an avalanche as the running world watches runners take care of business in French/Italian/Swiss Alps.
Brian and I go into topics and recall moments you won't hear anywhere else this year.

Is trail running ready for super fandom?
UTMB doubled its prize money. Is that enough?
