Amazing short film...Bears Ears and Grand Staircase Escalante

[G_j]

Amazing short film about a group of friends who ran 250 miles across both monuments in a single weekend to see for themselves what would be left protected.
Watch, soak it in and see what happens when the, (not my) President declared a drastic reduction of Utah’s Bears Ears and Grand Staircase Escalante National Monuments.
Protect our public lands.

There is a surprisingly hotly contested world record for 24 hours.

It is held by Yiannis Kouros, who is an absolute legend in the ultra running community.

His current records are
Track - 303.506 km (188.59 miles), 1997 in Adelaide, Australia
Road - 290.221 km - (180.33 miles), 1998 in Basel, Switzerland
