Mallory Richard for iRunFar:
The conversation about diversity in trail running and ultrarunning is ongoing. If we value a welcoming community and growth in the sport, it makes sense to promote races that allow runners of a range of abilities a good shot at finishing. Some races are contributing to this growth by attracting runners who are, by comparison, less represented at some iconic and challenging North American races.
More generous cutoffs help increase diversity in trail running.
But it does put pressure on the volunteer system of our races, which is… the Achilles heel of our sport.
