Gary Robbins is a longtime beloved athlete, coach, and race director based in Chilliwack, BC. Last Thursday, UTMB and IRONMAN announced a new race in Whistler – an action that’s been interpreted by many in the community as a hostile takeover of Gary's former independent race, Whistler Alpine Meadows (WAM). We talk about how he learned about the news, the circumstances that led to the cancellation of WAM, the community response, and the path forward. COAST MTN TRAIL RUNNING Sponsors:
