In this episode, we analyze and breakdown the controversy surrounding Singletrack. Focusing on Finn's attempt to prevent Mike McKnight's access to race TOR, their attempt to wipe away his 2026 results and right to continue earning a living from the sport. What are the broader implications for the sport's integrity and community values? The 95 is a diverse group with diverse opinions, morales, principles, world views and how/when to seek justice. We celebrate the fullness of the 95! We believe speaking about differences in good faith conversation is the way forward. Taking covert action and trying to weaponize your platform to destroy a man's livelihood and access to a sport void of any real regulations is not the response the 95 supports. It's not the culture or community trail runners embody. Let us know in the comments where you land and let's keep the conversation moving forward.
