Hey fam, welcome to Rest Day, our occasional news show breaking down the latest happenings and trail running,

the best sport in the world.

This week, Corinne Malcolm is back to debrief a huge race weekend.

Of course, Corinne and I were just up in Auburn, Four Canons by UTMB, but we didn't get a chance

to do our typical postmortem.

So we figured we would do that here, recapping some of the results and wrap up the last

eight months of golden ticket racing now that the pro field for Western States is officially set.

Then we talked through the rest of what was a very busy race weekend, not only canyons, but

also the Golden Trail World Series was happening in China, the Mount Fuji

100 in Japan, Madeira Island Ultra Trail in Europe.

And there were a bunch of standout performances that we recognize in today's show.

After that, we look ahead to the Kokadona 250, which starts next Monday, May 5th, before

wrapping up by talking about the emerging trend of athletes moving into

employee roles with their brand partners, something that Corinne herself is an example of.

It's a super fun show, and I hope you enjoy it.

Before we get to it, I wanted to encourage you the amazing listeners of the Freet Trail Podcast

to attend TrailCon June 24th and 25th in Palisades Tahoe in between

Broken Arrow and Western states. We've got a lot of big announcements due to roll out soon, but we

would love if you'd come attend and participate in this gathering of the trail running community,

attempting to unify a 10-day trail running festival in the Lake Tahoe area

around two of the sports most important races.

Registration is totally free and open to the public.
