EP 520: State of The Nation

This past year has broken from the normal and thrown some curveballs, challenges and outright disappointments to our lives inside trail running. We thought it would be a good discussion to talk about the state of The Nation, the trail running community that we all enjoy and love. Andy Jones-Wilkins joins us to talk about some of the changes and what that may mean to our sport.
