This is what building a running community actually looks like.

In this episode of Runnah, I sit down with Chris Wristen from MassUltra to talk about how the trail and ultrarunning community is growing here in Massachusetts—and what it really takes to create spaces where runners feel like they belong.

We get into:
• How MassUltra is building a strong, welcoming trail running community• What goes into creating races that feel inclusive and connected• Why community matters just as much as the miles• How runners of all levels can find their place in the trail world• The energy and uniqueness of the New England trail scene

This one is less about splits and more about people, connection, and showing up for each other—which is really what running is all about.
