Kodiak Races Still Threatened by Fire

Update from 9/28 via Instagram:

We continue to work with our local partners and the US Forest and we are hopeful to host you in Big Bear for the Kodiak Ultra Marathons by UTMB in a few weeks. Things are looking positive, but we will confirm the final courses in the coming days. Thank you for your continued patience!

The race is supposed to happen October 11-12, that’s less than 2 weeks away. As of September 30th the Line Fire is only 78% contained with daily updates still not showing any signs that this is under control. This is a super tough situation for everyone involved trying to keep people safe and an event operation going. Runners, signed up to race with accommodations booked are getting anxious.
