We kick today’s episode off by finishing up our Western States discussion from last week. More specifically, what the historic finisher rates are and how the data supports a higher average finisher rate as the lottery odds get less favorable. We give a shout out to a few runners who grabbed 10 year Western States buckles. Then we dive into The Mount Marathon Race, an annual 4th of July classic trail 5K which is one of the craziest races out there. We go over race results from Buckeye Trail 50K, Silver Rush 50, Silverton Alpine 50K, Kendall Mountain, Afton Trail 50K, and the monster that is Quebec Mega Trail running festival. We have some additional information on why Kristian Morgan had to abandon his Northbound AT FKT attempt after being so close. We also talk about what he ate during the attempt and to give a hint…it’s a lot. We close the show out with our Hardrock 100 preview as the race starts Friday morning.
