BPN trail races are fixed in my opinion. They pick a few from a lottery then add their elite runners to the race. It is more a BPN marketing event. It is unfortunate since Texas needs more new ultra events for the large ultra running market. The Bare ranch doesn't have state park or Forrest service guidelines so it could have big races with 500-1000 runners. It would help the brand even more than the current format which is just outputing videos for it's running influencers.
