HPRS Podcast – Episode 34: A USFS Shakeup for Trail and Ultra

Take a run with The Human Potential Running Series podcast. For Episode 34 HPRS owner and race director John Lacroix welcomes Jason Keith to the program. Jason is a trail and ultramarathon runner who works and volunteers his time towards public land policy with the AMGA, Access Fund, and Runners for Public Lands. In this episode, we learn about a new proposal from the USFS centered around “Cost Recovery” and how this new rule stands to shakeup trail and ultra in a HUGE way.
