What it is
A trail and ultrarunning show that works as a weekly news desk for the sport. The Monday news episode covers race results, previews and industry moves, and during events like UTMB and the Golden Trail Series Final the feed fills up with short pre- and post-race athlete interviews. It is for trail runners who want to keep up with the pro side of the sport and its business.
