Just listening to a new podcast. The Upper Midwest Trail Runners started a talk show focusing on the Midwest. They are based in Minnesota. 

Pretty cool and very active organization it seems. I've been following their Facebook page for a while now in hope of some day being more involved. 

They speak with the Superior 100 race director pertaining to his decision to use a lottery system to enter his races. Unfortunately it's a necessary evil. Definitely justified but kind of a bummer. Glad I did that race when I did, who knows if I'll get another chance!
