I originally recorded this interview a year ago as I was trying to finish a hundred miler.

Trail Runner of the Year (TROY) is well intentioned but it asks too much of fans and shows that trail running content in general has room to grow. The scope is global and fans simply aren't aware enough of the global talent pool and performances of trail races around the globe. Why are the industry content creators missing what fans want?

What could entertainment look like in trail running?How do we bring back the "E"?Wolfie's World is a weekly monologue by Brian Peterson (@wolfrunner) on the Borderlands Platfrom.
