# Freetrail

Freetrail is a trail and ultra running podcast hosted by Dylan Bowman and Corrine Malcolm. Weekly trail news roundup (Rest Day Live) with a rotating co-host, plus interviews, conference panels and short race-week episodes; most run 45 to 90 minutes, with several releases a week.

## 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.

## Why listen
- A weekly news episode with time-stamped segments on results, upcoming races and industry news.
- On-site coverage of UTMB week and the Golden Trail World Series Final, with champions interviewed right after their races.
- Recorded talks and panels from the TrailCon conference on topics such as anti-doping and trail running's Olympic prospects.
