Can WSER Maintain American Trail Running Dominance? [States Debates]
STATES DEBATES - is the epitome of fandom. We're diving into States three months before race day to build anticipation and get even more excited than years past. Western States is the most enjoyable race to watch in all of American Ultrarunning. It's a national championship of sorts that enjoys resting at the top of all American events. But can it maintain that dominance or is it vulnerable?Brian takes the position that its vulnerable and Troy of the MidPacker Pod thinks its guaranteed to maintain its spot as the premier. As time goes on, we'll debate more specifically about the 2025 field, but until then we're enjoying debate topics that transcend the 2025 event.
