Candice Burt joins us to share the news and point us to the petition

The Pacific Crest Trail Association (PCTA) is lobbying and advising the USDA Forest Service to ban recreational events on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). If they succeed, no new trail running events nor growth of existing events will be allowed on the PCT. Our existing trail running events could also be in jeopardy of receiving future permits. Read about the PCTA's stance HERE

Please join The Nation by speaking out against this ill-advised policy by
