What Really Happened at Moab 240: Jameson Collins on the Cancellation (Sunday Conversation)

Jameson Collins, Headquarters Manager for Destination Trail, joins me to walk through what happened at this year’s Moab 240, from the decision to start to the mid-race cancellation.

We cover how the team read the forecast, why flash flooding didn’t actually end the race, the night at Bridger Jack, and the search and rescue effort that got everyone out the next morning.

We also get into the qualifier debate, the no-drop pacer policy, the Arizona Monster bucket controversy, and what a $2,000 entry should buy you at a 200-mile aid station, before closing with Jameson’s lessons from 15 years in risk management and what every race organization should take from Moab.
