Episode #340: Jim Skaggs

When Jim Skaggs came to Utah I am sure he had no idea the impact he would make and the legacy he would leave. It's been 20 years since the first running of the Buffalo Run on Antelope Island and this past weekend Jim packed his trailer for the final time. 

We sit down with Jim and to hear the stories of so many events that he directed: Buffalo Run, Logan Peak, Harriman, Antelope Island Fall Classic, Frary Peak Hill Climb and others. The stories will turn to legends and the friendships will remain. 

Thank you Jim and Karen Skaggs for all you have done here in our trail community here and the trail community everywhere.

Make sure you listen to the end as we have some special memories shared by lives that were touched.
