3. Top American story
4. Top European story

Make sure you check out Billy's year end retrospective video HERE
Make sure you see all the 2015 ultra running statistics in the upcoming issue of UltraRunning Magazine
On the podcast Ian and Don had a gentleman's disagreement: Ian accused Don of referencing unreliable DATA to support his erroneous claim that ultrarunning is a shrinking sport. Ian, on the other hand, sites UltraRunning Magazine as the most reliable warehouse of archived trail data: illustrating a healthy and expanding sport. After careful review following the podcast, including comparing finishing times between Ian and Don, Ian position clearly won the day. Ultrarunning is a thriving sport.
