RMCR Regional Roundup: Episode 79

Emily Arntsen/KZMU
Ultramarathon runners make a push through the 240-mile race that starts and ends in Moab, Utah.

This week on Regional Roundup, we hear about a former monastery near Aspen, Colorado, that community members are rallying to conserve. We meet runners who competed in a 240-mile race in southeast Utah, and a new book examines how horses forever altered the course of human history.
