The 42nd issue of TRAIL is the final (for now) and gives you 206 pages of trail running inspiration! Experience the mind-boggling Tor des Géants through the lens of Tim Underwood, only the sixth South African to complete the 330km Italian giant. Check out the 2021 Bestest Awards, which really is a lark. coach Sean Tait dives deep into the topic of the long run – at what point does time on your feet become counter-productive? You'll find out! Looking for events? We've got 38 great races for you until the end of April. On the second cover (and why not?) Karoline Hanks share her passion for Nature and wildlife. Discover why two brave women chose the 2021 Otter African Trail Run to remember someone departed and much loved one. Check out the race wraps for the final quarter of 2021. Discover why chlorophyll is The Big C and why you should get more daily. Meet the Mexican king, chaya. Get an overview of Erica Terblanche's fantastic life of adventure in her book. We remember the entertaining genius of Raasbekkie, are inspired by the adventurous soul of Nonhla Tau, get to know the husband and wife team of Team Fresh Trails better, and are inspired by Kevin Light's journey with us since the very first issue.
It may be the last issue of the mag but our fortnightly email newsletter and website will continue.
We've put a lot of sweat and tears into issue 42. We hope you enjoy reading it!
