In this episode of the podcast we have not one, but two guests!

I'm joined by Andrew 'Ferg' Ferguson, race director at the ARC of Attrition and Sam Calvert, Event Director for UTMB in the UK.

The ARC recently made some alterations to various aspects of its races, so Ferg has come on to answer some of your questions and speak about concerns from the trail running community. 

Sam speaks about the recent acquisition of the Skyline Scotland race, the last race to be snapped up after the collapse of Ourea. He speaks about plans for the race and the fact that although UTMB sometimes come under fire, they are keeping to its core principals, which is helped by keeping Shane involved. 

Sam is keen to show a new side of UTMB. Previously the organisation came under fire for keeping silent when concerns were raised about races. Sam endeavours to put a face to the global trail running giants and aims to keep lines of communication open. This podcast is part of that endeavour. 

I have a feeling we might be tapping Sam up on a regular basis to get the answers we need from them. Love them or hate them, UTMB aren't going anywhere so expect more interviews from them going forward....
