In this episode of the Home Trails Podcast, I'm joined by by James Nobles and Martin from Kelp&Fern to discuss UTS by UTMB.
James has been very vocal in his criticism of UTS changing the iconic Snowdonia route last minute, especially after selling further places in the race.
UTS has come under heavy fire from some prominent names in the trail and ultra running community. But is this just a genuine landowner/route issue that couldn't have been avoided? Or is it another example of the giant corporate machine steamrollering trail runners and using another race as a licence to print money, without giving runners what they signed up for?
James represents the angry pro runners and Martin shares his local route knowledge and years of experience in fell, trail and ultra running media.
Should the trail running community start to boycott UTMB races?
Have a listen to find out!
