Join Brett Hornig of Conversational Pace for this special edition of "Inside Aravaipa" with Aravaipa founder Jamil Coury, and resident USATF official, Schuyler Hall. We discuss the recent DQ of Rajpaul Pannu at the Jackpot 100 mile, which served as the USATF 100 mile championships. We also go over stack height rules and their application to ultramarathons, both road and trail. Lengthy discussion, but an educational one and more broadly, is an attempt to get a conversation about this topic going and more public.
