Join Scotty and Western States Race Director Craig Thornley for a long run in which they discuss his life in running, how he came to be the Western States RD, what that entails, how Western States works, their approaches to emrging issues in the sport, the lottery, doping, gender, and his recovery from knee surgery. And much much more. It's like evesdropping on RD's chatting. And I think you will like it.
