For a Saskatchewan farmer who spends his days thinking about soil health, crop diversity and long-term, sustainable systems, being selected to run the Western States 100 came as a shock. \u201cAhhhhh. I still can\u2019t believe it,\u201d Stuart Chutter<\/strong> told Canadian Running<\/em>. \u201cIn my eyes, Western States is the Olympics of ultras. I feel like this year I am going to the Olympics.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chutter has been chosen by The Active Joe, a Texas-based non-profit that focuses on running outreach and building community through fun, affordable events, to represent the brand at this year\u2019s Western States Endurance Run, one of ultrarunning\u2019s most established and competitive races. Held annually in California, the 100-mile event follows historic trails from Olympic Valley to Auburn and is the oldest 100-mile race in North America.<\/p>\n
