Free Trail fam, welcome to the show. I'm Dylan Bowman, always love and appreciate having you here.

And today, we're joined by

David Kilgore, the running Renaissance man from New York City, the big apple. I've been following

David from afar on Instagram for a long time now, always with a curious intrigue about who he is

and what he's up to. He seems to just have so much going on and he seems

to be having so much fun doing all these various things. So I felt it would be great to have him

on the show and hear all about it. For those unfamiliar with David, you must go follow him on

Instagram where his energy and personality are on full display.

But in a nutshell, he's a pro athlete for on running.

He also manages the trail category in sports marketing for on running.

He has his own new lifestyle brand called Forest.

And he's involved in a lot of different racing events, including a new

upstart 50-miler called the Hudson River 50, which he's hoping to grow into a destination,

competitive fall race on the East Coast, something I think the sport desperately needs.

So we talk about all that stuff in this conversation.

And I think David really is a great example as to how to piece together an awesome living within the sport

and have a great impact on the community in doing so.

As you know, the free trail podcast is presented by Speedland.

If you guys haven't checked out these amazing shoes yet, I urge you to do so.

The SLHSV is shipping from Portland right now.

And like the SLPDX, they've been produced in minimal quantities.

And once they're gone, they disappear from the face of the earth entirely.
