The ultra world is on fire—and we’re here to fan the flames.

In this week’s Next Aid Station, Jake Kilgore and Mick Garrison are back after a quick break, and the timing couldn’t be better. The Western States shakeup has left the field wide open (00:19:12), big names are dropping like flies, and the long-awaited “Unbreakable 2” film? Dead. With Jim Walmsley and Hayden Hawks out, who’s left to carry the torch? Killian? Caleb? Roche?

We’re breaking down the carnage and reshuffling the deck for who’s really got a shot at the podium.

But that’s not all. A storm’s been brewing in Arizona—and it’s not the heat. The Black Canyon 100K cheating controversy just got reignited months later thanks to online whistleblowers and Camille Heron’s cryptic crusade for “safety and integrity” (00:39:02). We’ve got thoughts—and we don’t hold back.
