Canyons is UTMB American Major After all

From the Canyons Instagram:

We are thrilled to confirm The Canyons Endurance Runs by UTMB as the 2024 UTMB World Series Americas Major! 

While this is a reasonable option, announcing it so late, and after the 100K distance has already been sold out, makes you wonder if they had plans to host the American Majors somewhere else.
