In this special episode celebrating the three-year anniversary of Borderlands, I reflect on the journey of building a community around trail running.

I emphasize the importance of inclusivity in the sport, focusing on the heart of trail running rather than great performances. Josh introduces the Wylder app as a tool for fostering community among runners and discusses the challenges of monetization and brand partnerships.

• The heart of trail running is about participation, not competition.
• Wylder app aims to connect runners and build community.
• Brand partnerships can alter the authenticity of the message.
• Gratitude is expressed for the support from the Borderlands family.
• Future plans include expanding real-life community connections.

Wylder is currently only available on iOS. Android coming quickly.
