The Freetrail Podcast with Dylan Bowman
About
This is a recording of a panel from the 2025 edition of TrailCon, a two-day trail running festival, conference, and trade show hosted in Palisades Tahoe, CA in the days between Broken Arrow and Western States.
Today's panel is entitled What Trail Running Can Learn From Other Sports. As trail running continues to grow rapidly around the globe, we wanted to draw parallels to similar periods from other sports to explore what we can learn from their growing pains and maturation arcs.
Our panelists today:
- Aaron Lutze (Moderator) Adrian Ballinger, Professional Alpinist & Guide Amie Engebritsen, Professional Skier Laura King, Cycling Industry Insider & Race Director Steve DeKoker, Global Sports Marketing Leader (Brooks, On, HOKA)
