Lottery Fever!
Unlike road races that can accommodate thousands of runners, popular trail ultras are often limited to many fewer runners than would like to participate. As a result, lotteries are becoming a common theme.
You may already know the Western States Lottery is closed and the “lucky” runners will be drawn this weekend.
There are, coincidentally, a couple other big lotteries underway right now, too.
The Way Too Cool 50K lottery is currently open and closes on the 8th.
The Miwok 100K lottery is also currently open and will close on the 10th.
Well? Do you feel lucky? Do ya?
