Get ready for some hardpacked dirt on the nature tracks because in our newest edition of Trail Run Mag, our writers and photographers have done their absolute best with sourcing everything that’s happening in our world of trail running! 
TRM50 is chock-a-block with amazing features, including an exclusive Q&A with one of the world’s best trail running athletes, Kilian Jornet, who just so happens to grace our front cover. We get up close and personal with the G.O.A.T, who talks about what he’s up to now, his newest business venture Nnormal, and what it’s like to be labelled the greatest of all time. 
Not only that, but we’ve got features on Bibbulmun FKT extraordinaire Eriki Lori; we talk to ‘plus size’ runner Cath Wallis; we examine the move from other sports into trail running; we discover what issues women are facing these days with our sport and investigate what improvements can be made; and we have contributions that take readers deep into Cradle Mountain, Ningaloo, and the Larapinta Trail.

It’s another epic edition of Trail Run Mag, with all our contributors going above and beyond to bring you the very best in getting down and dirty on the trails! Because when it comes to the work of TRM’s writers and photographers, only the very best will do! 
TRM49 is jam-packed with amazing features, including an exclusive with the two backyard ultra runners who broke the world record earlier this year – Aussie Phil Gore and New Zealander Sam Harvey; a Q&A with Kiwi running extraordinaire Weston Hill; and an interview with a Scottish-born New Zealander Scott Wilson who runs in memory of his baby boy. We’ve also got race reports, reader contributions, all the best in shoe and gear reviews, and a new column we’ve titled Treading Lightly by Hilary McAllister, who explores the importance of ‘being wild’ and how to appreciate nature just that little bit more.
It's also time for our annual Event Guide! In TRM49, we share our calendar of trail running events for 2024 so that you can plan the next 12 months and support your local races – or plan to get out of your state, maybe even hop across the Tasman! 
So wake up really early and run really fast! Happy trails!

Our writers and photographers have far gone off the beaten track for TRM48, with the very best
in everything to do with trail running! This is one special edition we are incredibly proud of, and
we couldn’t be happier with our insanely epic front cover, featuring Australia’s sweetheart of trail
running, Lucy Bartholomew! Whilst you take in the breathtaking photography of her traversing
through the Grampians, we also talk to her and the two race organisers behind this year’s
inaugural GPT 100 Miler in Victoria. That’s not all though! TRM48 is full of jam-packed features,
including a piece by editor Kate Dzienis that focuses on getting trail running into the 2032
Olympic Games, how a body building competitor went from the stage to the trails, why athletes
decided to ditch road running in favour of hitting nature’s tracks, and endurance racer Paul
Watkins explores what runners can do to prevent or get through post-race blues. TRM48 also
has the latest book and gear reviews, our favourite columns, and our ever popular Wise Words
segment as well as some of the most beautiful outdoor images by our favourite photographers
behind the lens.
So wake up really early and run really fast! Happy trails!

Bringing you the very best in story-telling and imagery, TRM46 is the edition you won’t want to let go of!

NOW’S A GOOD TIME TO BUY: ALL THE GOOD GEAR

This short documentary is about a traditional
Japanese long-distance relay race called Ekiden.
In 2021, one particular team held an Ekiden race in
New York City to display the city’s diversity and

how different people can unite by running togeth-
er to achieve a common goal. And although a

race, the event never involves any competition,
and so this film focuses on what makes the Ekiden
so incredibly unique – it’s history and how today it
spreads a message of positivity and unity.

Get a healthy dose of adventure with Trail Run Mag edition #43 – from an intimate chat with South Australian ultra runner Dan Whitehead who shares what it’s like living with Crohn’s, to Isobel Ross who gives TRM an all exclusive recap of her time at the infamous 2022 Barkley Marathon in Tennessee, USA. But that’s not even the half of it! New Zealand’s Madeleine Collins gives us a close encounter of life in her own ‘backyard’, and we get to know WA’s Kevin Matthews who is taking endurance to a whole new level. Australian Survivor’s Sam Gash answers all our questions, and find out where all the best dog trails are in NZ!

Trail Run Mag was the first in Australasia (Australia, New Zealand and Asia) to be dedicated to the pursuit of trail running. The magazine was initially made available only as a digital download, with more than 200,000 copies downloaded and read to date.
After publishing digitally for 21 editions and five years (you can still download those for here), Trail Run Mag became Australia's first print magazine dedicated to the trail running lifestyle, in November 2016. In 2019, Trail Run Mag merged with Trail Runner NZ & Australia to create one awesome Trail Run Mag for trailer runners in Australia and New Zealand!

RUNNING LIKE A NUTR

RUN LIKE A GIRL: Female runners have been making headlines in the past couple of years for outlasting men in endurance events. It seems the longer, the better.
ROCKY RUAHINE HIGH: The mighty Ruahine Range rises sharply on the North Island of New Zealand, offering sublime views for those daring enough to tackle it. 
ROCKY RUAHINE HIGH: The mighty Ruahine Range rises sharply on the North Island of New Zealand, offering sublime views for those daring enough to tackle it. 
END-TO-ENDURANCE MISSION: Piotr Babis decided to celebrate the end of his two years living and working in Tasmania not by having a few drinks at the pub, but by running the length of the island state.
NORTHERN EXPOSURE: Adventurers Luen Warneke and Jodie Rummer spend their weekends exploring the hidden gems of Townsville and North Queensland. Realizing that not many locals were aware of what was on their doorstep, they created Wanderstories, now a thriving online community for outdoor explorers – and trail runners like you.
SOLID GOLD: In 2020, three mates – Ross McPhee, Simon Austin, and John Robinson – attempted to set the fastest known time on the Goldfields Track: a 200km point-to-point trail linking the historic gold rush towns of Ballarat and Bendigo in central Victoria. Of course, not all went to plan. 
O’REILLY'S TO THE ROCK: Yearning for a bit of adventure and mateship, in mid-2020, six dads embarked on an incredible self-styled quest. Dubbed O’Reilly’s to the Rock, the 19-hour trail run not only linked some of the most iconic scenery in the Gold Coast Hinterland but the hearts and minds of the friends who conquered it writes Kierun Douglass.

Trail Run Mag is a magazine entirely devoted to the dirty art of trail running.

Trail Run is a magazine for trail runners in New Zealand and Australia.
