Hey, everybody. Welcome back to a special bonus episode, an emergency episode, as they say in the podcasting biz.

Thank you so much for being here.

Of course, I'm Dylan Bowman, and you are listening to the Pillars podcast.

And today I'm joined by frequent guests, my friend, collaborator, and often commentary partner, the awesome Corinne Malcolm is

here. And as we sometimes do, Corinne joined again today to discuss the recent news in Trail

and Ultra Running. More specifically, we talk about the announcement that came into my inbox bright and early this

morning and was also distributed on social media from UTMB about the new races that are

going to be part of the UTMB World Series.

So we tackle what the races are, what it means.

And we specifically talk a lot about the partnership or the collaboration between Western

States and UTMB and the broader impact it has on the sporting and industry landscape.

And at the end, we also discuss a bit about the Havillina 100.

We talk about the golden ticket races, a little update on that front, and we look ahead

a bit towards 2022.

today, the awesome Corinne Malcolm and her co-hosts, Keely Henninger and Hillary Allen, tackle a lot of
