Diverse Voices in Trail Running Media: Schuyler Hall

Yes, Schuyler Hall does a lot! Schuyler shares how he first got into running and his experiences on the trails in Arizona, as one of the original media creators for Aravaipa. Schuyler was foundational to what would become Mountain Outpost. The company pioneered ultra race coverage in the US and is now the premier outlet to provide live race day coverage for many of biggest events on the trail racing calendar. Schuyler continues to be a commentator for Mountain Outpost. Schyuler also gets into his work these days as a high school running coach in the San Francisco Bay Area, and social studies teacher. And he talks about his involvement with the new documentary Dipsea Generations, which highlights youth participation in the country’s oldest trail race–the famous Dipsea in Northern California; this race is known for its unique handicap format. Of course, Stefanie also asked about Schuyler’s beer race record and his work as a relationship advice columnist in the trail running world. And they discuss the reality that running is political, and the challenges of addressing the lack of diversity in the trail running scene. This in depth and wonderfully wide ranging conversation captures why Stefanie dubs Schuyler one of the most interesting people in the trail scene.
