Welcome back or welcome to the Single Trek podcast. I'm your host Finn Melanson and this is another

episode of the long run archives. Now, if you are new to the podcast, this is a recurring series

where I'm joined by my friend Brett Hornig and sometimes a special guest and basically we

pretend that we're out on a long run shooting the shit discussing any

interesting ideas or hot topics around the sport of trail running and in this episode

Brett and I are joined by Luke Webster, photographer and overall awesome creator for some of the

most prominent brands in our sport. We talk about getting

Mountain Ultra Trail running in the Olympics, the chaos and confusion around the UTMB World

series. We debate interesting futuristic race coverage ideas and also whether pro-trail

runners should have agents. Before we get started though, if you are a fan of the show,

please consider supporting single track with a rating and review on Apple or Spotify,

a small donation on Patreon, or the use of our discount codes,

all of which are linked in the show notes with InsideTracker,

gnarly nutrition, and Kodiak's.

As always, thank you so much for your

consideration. Above all else, thank you so much for listening. Your support means everything.

And yeah, so with that, let's get on with the show. This is, I think, our seventh edition of the

Long Run Archives. I'm joined by my frequent co-host Brett Hornig.

Brett,

what is up in the former Trail Mecca of Ashland, Oregon?

I don't know if I'd say former.

Might still be.
