Did UTMB and IRON MAN go too far in Whistler?

On this episode of the podcast myself and Ben Wells Runs Fells speak to Kate Allen from the RunUltra website.

Last week I wrote an article for the website discussing the current controversy surrounding the UTMB/Iron Man situation in Whistler.

We have an unbiased conversation about who could be to blame (if anyone even is) and how the trail running community around the world have reacted to the announcement of their new race in British Columbia.

We talk about the ethics of the decision to put the race on the same weekend that Gary Robbins and his Coast mountain trail running  normally have their own WAM races.
We chat about if it’s intentional, or just bad timing. Have a listen and decide for yourself.

Kate also tells about the new inov8 store that’s opened up in Bakewell, serving the needs of trail runners in the Peak District.
We also have the usual catch up about injury and the Spine race, so for those of you who play, get your Spine Bingo cards out!
