Hey, fam, welcome to the free trail podcast. Hope you're having a wonderful holiday season. I am your host Dylan Bowman and as is our

tradition. Here today I am joined by Corinne Malcolm, FreeTrails editor-in-chief, Trail Society co-host,

pro trail runner, and expert commentator to break down the year that was and look ahead to

2023 and beyond. I'll keep the intro short because I trust you know

the drill here. We will discuss our votes for trail runner of the year. We'll dissect some of the

best performances from 2022, recognize FKT's run this year, identify our rookies of the year,

discuss storylines from the season, make predictions for

next year and beyond, and hand out the Bill Dooper Spirit Award. It's fun to do this with

Corinne again, and I always appreciate hearing her analysis, and I'm sure you will too. A big thank
