Golden Ticket or bust | Canyons 100k

Jenny Signed up to run the Canyons 100k to chase a Golden Ticket to Western States 100.

There are 7 races in the golden ticket series in which the top 2 Males & Females of each race will be awarded a Golden Ticket entry into the highly sought after Western States 100 mile Ultra Marathon.

Without a Golden ticket there is a Lottery that eligible racers can enter using points acquired from other qualifying trail races. This approach however can take multiple years of continued racing to maintain and gain points, for more lottery entries. This in turn makes the Golden Ticket approach for elite runners very enticing.
