Vol State Glossary


A couple of years ago I was asked if I could produce a glossary of Vol State language for a group on Facebook. Vol State is growing in popularity and visibility each year, and there are always new, curious ultrarunners and fans who are a bit baffled by some of the colorful (and often eccentric) terms that have evolved around the event over the years. My little glossary has been well-received by many of them, and I decided to get it set up a little better for future years here.
