For over a decade, we have worked to help put athletes on the starting line at Western States 100 who otherwise might not have had the opportunity to be there.
Not because it’s easy.
But because this sport changes people, and more people deserve access to those moments.
Over the years, that commitment has helped support athletes from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences, all of whom are committed to helping others with a variety of causes from environmentalism to gender equity and LGBTQ2SIA+ rights.
Western States is iconic because of the course and history. But it’s also special because of the people willing to open doors and bring others with them.
As this year’s race approaches, we’re feeling grateful for every runner, crew member, volunteer, and supporter who continues to help make that possible 💛
