Keely, Corrine, and Hillary sit down with Ryan Montgomery who is a queer and gay professional ultrarunner focused on increasing diversity and acceptance for the LGBTQ+ community in the ultra and trail running space.  We learn a lot about his company, Out Trails, how we can become better allies, and how to make trail running more welcoming.  We also discuss doping, Big’s backyard, and women’s sport funding in the news section.
