As the year comes to an end we look back at all the fun headlines and even some drama that we talked about over the last year.  This recap episode was a lot of fun.  Good to have a reminder about all the excitement that comes along with this crazy sport that we love.  Hoping 2025 brings us a fun year of ultrarunning.  We wish all our listeners, viewers, friends, and families a great holiday and we will see you all in the New Year!
