Gary Robbins | Trail Running at a Crossroads

Gary Robbins is a longtime beloved athlete, coach, and race director based in Chilliwack, BC. Last Thursday, UTMB and IRONMAN announced a new race in Whistler – an action that’s been interpreted by many in the community as a hostile takeover of Gary's former independent race, Whistler Alpine Meadows (WAM). We talk about how he learned about the news, the circumstances that led to the cancellation of WAM, the community response, and the path forward.   / cyj1isepv8p   COAST MTN TRAIL RUNNING - https://trailrunning.ca/ Sponsors: Use code freetrail10 for 10% off Speedland Footwear - https://www.runspeedland.com/ Use code freetrail15 for 15% off Gnarly Nutrition - https://gognarly.com/ Get 30% off your first subscription of Ketone IQ at HVMN.com/FREETRAIL30 - http://hvmn.com/FREETRAIL30 Use code freetrail15 for 15% off Roark Apparel - https://roark.com/ Freetrail Links: Website | https://freetrail.com/ Freetrail Pro | https://freetrail.com/freetrail-pro/ Patreon |   / dylanbowman   Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/runfreetrai...
