Backyard Ultra @ the WWC - maybe
Typically, after WWC events, they send out a runner feedback email which was the case after their Labor Day race. As I was filling out the survey, I surprised to see that they asked if I was interested in doing a Backyard Ultra at the WWC. I found Backyard Ultras a fascinating event to watch. The way just a couple of people who are tired well beyond exhaustion continue to make loops all the while functioning on little to no sleep. But the larger question here is, would this be a good event for the WWC. I could go into a number of pro and cons about it, but I think that it comes down to one point. Could they put on a profitable event. If they are not making at least a little profit, what is the point. They are business, they are not die-hard ultra fanatics that put-on events for the love of doing it. Furthermore, Backyard Ultras are more of a niche event which draws from smaller group of runners in the Ultra community. So, is there a price point ...
