Trail Runner Magazine

Trail Runner, the authority on off-road running since 1999, is the only magazine dedicated to the trail-running community, and our mission is to encourage runners of all ages and abilities to experience the outdoors and achieve a healthier lifestyle. Trail Runner seeks to advance the sport by actively encouraging diversity and expanding accessibility as well as advocating for issues relevant to public land use and the environment.

Trail Runner produces six high-quality issues per year, including our annual issue of DIRT, a long-form journal, with engaging stories and photos in the world of trail running. Written by trail runners (our staff has logged races and runs from 5K to 200-plus miles) for trail runners, we are the voice of the sport, and beginners and veterans alike depend on our well-researched articles. Trail Runner magazine inspires and informs with accurate, intelligent and innovative writing and compelling photography.

We produce an annual race directory, published each December, that features over 1,500 trail races (including a host of international events) and is also posted on our online Race Calendar, where listings are continuously updated throughout the year.

Trail Runner‘s free multimedia newsletters, distributed weekly via email to 140,000+ readers, highlights trail news, tips and trail-running culture in between regular issues of the print magazine.
