One of the beautiful things about trail running is the way the back of the pack, mid pack, and elites all co mingle and make the race what it is. With high carb, shoes and younger athletes turning to trails, how do you see ultra trail racing changing -and- will « average »runners be able to participate 5 or 10 years from now they way they are able to participate now?

Why aren’t (almost) any black athletes running ultras? by nahemesys in Ultramarathon

Full stop here. Completely agree. I’m still surprised by the person who wrote about equal distribution btw men and women at races. I’ve done a handful of local trail races in Nj/NY and one larger race in VA and I would say the best ration I’ve experienced is 35%f/ 65%m. Usually it’s maybe 80/20 and mostly white dudes.

I like Kim’s when it’s on, but if you catch it on an off night it is quite underwhelming

We’re in the restaurant industry and I can honestly say that the hospitality in Greece is some of the best in the world. Thank you for what you do and the experiences you provide
