western cancelled?

I was licking my chops about this year's Western States 100 miler, which has a great field with the very real possibility of all of them getting their asses handed to 'em by a local Colorado guy. But now I'm hearing rumors that the race may be cancelled due to all the fires in California. Heartbreak city, as I know a lot of people have trained very hard over the past several months to get to the starting line. Here's hoping that somehow the fires allow the race to go on...

where did you read/hear that? There's nothing on their website. Surely, they post real details.

Rego'd runners got an e-mail a little bit ago informing them of the possibilty. It's not looking good, as there are over 800 fires burning in CA right now and not enough firefighters to do much about it. Some of the fires are very close to the WS course, and there are concerns about runners/volunteers getting into trouble.

That blows! Anything comparable? What about that one in Nevada in the desert?
