Is trail running broken? A real conversation about the future of the sport

from Redefine the Game · host SENSE

This isn’t a panel. It’s a campfire conversation.In this episode of Redefine the Game, I sat down with Matt Trappe, Zoë Rom, Josh Rosenthal, and David Callahan to ask a simple but uncomfortable question: what the hell is happening to trail running?From media and brand dynamics to authenticity, community, and gatekeeping, we get honest. We explore the tension between growth and soul, how most trail brands miss 99% of runners, and what it means to contribute to a sport (instead of extracting from it).If you care about where trail running is heading, and the role brands, media, and culture play in shaping that journey...this one’s for you.Guests:Matt Trappe (Photographer, Director)Zoë Rom (Podcast Host, Writer, Former Editor of Trail Runner)Josh Rosenthal (Founder of Borderlands & Wilder)David Callahan (Co-CEO of UltraSignup)Let us know: what does trail running mean to you?#RedefineTheGame
