On the eve of one of America's largest ultra trail race, the Black Canyon Ultras, Mountain Outpost announces another new initiative: 'Race Purse'- a crowdfunding platform for prize purses for elite runners. In recent months Black Canyon, and Aravaipa have gotten under increased scrutiny for not offering any prize money at all. This new project, seemingly outsourcing the solution created lots of chatter online and Krissi is joining me to try to make sense of it all.
