‘Help Gary Buy UTMB’

Dominic Grossman gives us the most obvious solution out of this Whistler/Ironman/UTMB/Vail mess in form of nothing else than a GoFundMe, because of course:

Hi, this is Dominic and Andy, good friends of race director Gary Robbins. To put it mildly, Gary got screwed by Big Running. His ultra, WAM that he has put on for 5 years in Whistler mysteriously stopped getting permits from Vail Resorts. Then on October 26th, UTMB announced that they were now putting on an ultra at Whistler.

That’s when it became clear to us: UTMB is ruining trail running. And the only feasible solution is for Gary Robbins to buy their race for 50 million dollars and save the sport from moral bankruptcy.

The Big Running vs. Big Beard showdown we’ve all been waiting for.
