Race Selection Process and Stability of Golden Ticket Races
The race selection process for the Golden Ticket races, particularly for Western States, involves an annual reevaluation to assemble the best possible field. The board, including individuals like Dylan Bowman, Topher Gaylord, and Craig Thornley, aims to create a competitive field by starting from scratch each year. Races must meet prerequisites, including being Hoka-sponsored, to be considered Golden Ticket races. The stability of the selection process ensures a high-quality field while still introducing new races each year.
