  • Love this group of ladies!

    I’ve been listening to the Trail Network Podcast since the beginning and I just love the stories these women share, their enthusiasm for our sport and how much they support us, even the non-elite runners. Their guests are fabulous and some of my favorite episodes are when they’re all chatting or interviewing each other. Thanks for continuing to show up for the community!
