David Callahan and Jay Kelley are the leaders of UltraSignup -- the leading event registration and race database in trail running. They have a unique vantage point from which to assess the state of trail running and its prospects for the future. We talk about their history and the 2020 acquisition of the platform, their vision for servicing race directors and runners simultaneously, their evolving media strategy, whether trail running is in a bubble, and their foray into community events with the Dirt Circus.   Dirt Circus - Pheonix   Dirt Circus - Nashville (Virtual)   Dirt Circus - Bentonville
