Trail running is evolving fast—and this episode takes you inside that transformation.
Recorded live at TrailCon, host Buzz Burrell sits down with four unique voices shaping the sport:
David Callahan, co-CEO of UltraSignup, on why “Tahoe Trail Week” could be America’s answer to Chamonix.
Shane Ohly, UK race director, on adventure, jeopardy, and the self-navigation ethos of events like the Dragon’s Back.
Matt Walsh, media analyst and author of the TrailMix newsletter, on the Golden Trail Series’ TV deal and how athlete-driven storytelling is reshaping the narrative.
Doug Mayer, author and founder of Run the Alps, with insights into the cultural quirks and traditions of European racing.
From stage races without aid stations to TV-friendly “flower course” formats, this conversation dives into how trail running is growing, changing, and still finding its soul.
