Honest conversations with trail running industry pros, and fans who love the mountains. One of the longest running podcast in the scene. This is Singletrack.  

The newly created event Snowbasin by UTMB joins the World Series for the first time this year. With just two distances, a 50K and 20K it shows the changed approach UTMB is taking here in the US. Creating races from scratch with – at first – offering only shorter distances. With both races happening on the same day this also seems to be the shortest UTMB event – most other events sprawl across the entire weekend.

Lotti BRINKS (Germany) and Sean MCCAULEY (USA) win the inaugural 50K race.
