‘A Sad Day’

Ian Corless on the business closure of Ourea Events I reported on yesterday:

Shane Ohly and his team didn’t just organise races. They shaped a culture.

This is just a really great sentences: “Race directors are the ones shaping our trail culture.” And something is indeed changing.

In some ways, races are like mountain routes. They can outlive the people who first established them.

Change is inevitable and the question is when the new crop of “culture shapers” will take over how is that going to transform trail running for the local communities and the global sport?
