Update: Courtney DNF, Jack Scott DNF (both according to their respective IGs). Dan Green pulling away with a bigger lead through Jerome. Ryan Sandes in second, Versteeg in third, Rachel Entrekin 4th overall and 1st female by a long shot.
No Courtney Dauwalter listed in the USADA database
They do test the top ten at western states and utmb. While out of competition testing isn't there yet. I do know there's an union of pro trail runners who are trying to get more testing done in the sport.
This is not true at all. They haven't done real PED testing for the top 10 at Western or UTMB ever I think. You taking about QUARTZ or some sponsored funded draw?
Green looked as fresh and relaxed as if he was on an easy ten miler when he came through town this morning. Versteeg looked beat down, but maybe that's just how he looks...
Ryan Sandes pulled away into 1st while Dan Green slept at an aid station. Ryan at 151 miles, Dan at mile 150.
Ryan will have to drop the hammer now to keep the lead but Dan's only 28 yrs old, so we'll see if it switches back again. But then again maybe Dan's handlers told him to sit back. Both still running.

You're an idiot, Willis. WS has been drug testing random finishers since 2017
Sandes and Green going head to head kess than a mile apart. Versteeg in 3rd. Amazingly entertaining to follow! I hope someone Iis filming a documentary about the race this year!

The race leader is in his last 7 miles, Dan Green live, he's about 2 hrs ahead of course record. But the course is approx 7 miles longer this year. Will he beat the cr?
Sandes in solid position for 2nd
Edher Ramirez looking at 3rd
Rachel E in first female position. She can probably get 3rd or 4th overall!

I'd boycott this race just for the fact that Satisfy is an aid station sponsor. We can not and should not support companies that charge $220 minimum for a pair of running shorts and $140 plus for a "MothTec" tee shirt.
That's absolutely ridiculous and in no way, shape or form moving the sport forward.

I don't mean this as a knock on Max or Satisfy, but I think this result actually is more in line with their brand than if he ended up winning or on the podium. Dude literally ran himself almost to death. Especially if he actually gets cleared to jump back in at Elden and finish before Saturday, something I saw talked about in the chat, that will only increase his aura, as the kids say.
Literally anytime I opened the chat in the livestream every 4th or 5th comment was asking about Max. He brought plenty of eyeballs to the event, and to Satisfy.
