\\xa0Candice Burt joins us to share the news and point us to the petition\\xa0

The Pacific Crest Trail Association (PCTA)\\xa0is lobbying and advising the USDA Forest Service to ban\\xa0recreational\\xa0events on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT).\\xa0If they succeed, no new trail running events nor growth of existing events will be allowed on the PCT. \\xa0Our existing trail running events could also be in jeopardy of receiving future permits. \\xa0Read about the PCTA\'s stance\\xa0HERE

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

\\n
• Signing the\\xa0petition\\xa0that Candice Burt created
\\n
• Consider posting on the\\xa0PCTA\\xa0facebook\\xa0\\xa0page and commenting on their post about their stance with your opinion. The more we express ourselves, the more the PCTA and USDA Forest Service will understand our point of view and the size of the trail running community
\\n
• Call\\xa0Beth Boyst, the Pacific Crest Trail Administrator for the USDA Forest Service:\\xa0bboyst@fs.fed.us\\xa0(707) 562-8881 to express your concerns
\\n
• Share your concern with your social media group and encourage them to stand with The Nation!
\\n

Right now the PCT is being threatened, tomorrow it could be your favorite trail or race!\\xa0
