Trail running is evolving fast—and this episode takes you inside that transformation.

Recorded live at TrailCon, host Buzz Burrell sits down with four unique voices shaping the sport:

• David Callahan, co-CEO of UltraSignup, on why “Tahoe Trail Week” could be America’s answer to Chamonix.

• Shane Ohly, UK race director, on adventure, jeopardy, and the self-navigation ethos of events like the Dragon’s Back.

• Matt Walsh, media analyst and author of the TrailMix newsletter, on the Golden Trail Series’ TV deal and how athlete-driven storytelling is reshaping the narrative.

• Doug Mayer, author and founder of Run the Alps, with insights into the cultural quirks and traditions of European racing.

From stage races without aid stations to TV-friendly “flower course” formats, this conversation dives into how trail running is growing, changing, and still finding its soul.
