Author’s Note: Feel free to skip forward from 30:00 to about 32:30 into the podcast due to technical difficulties and apologies for some profanity. I thought the window that I was recording the podcast on had been closed but was mistaken. Once it was fixed I decided to keep rolling rather than restart 30 minutes in. My sincerest apologies!

2026 Canyons 100k and 50k Preview

The final golden tickets for entry into 2026 Western States Endurance Run are up for grabs this weekend. Who would be the most exciting racers to add to the field that aren’t in yet? On the men’s side you’ve got to imagine it would be great to have previous winner Adam Peterman back in along with either Hayden Hawks or Zach Miller while on the women’s side Riley Brady could really add more zest to what is already an extremely spicy field in the women’s race.
