Hey, fam, welcome to the free trail podcast. Of course, I'm your host, Dylan Bowman here today with another rest day episode,

our semi-regular news show about all things trail running. What's happening in our amazing

sport? Never a shortage of things to talk about. And Corinne Malcolm is back to break it all down.

The chucking up 50K results from last weekend, the start of the Barclay marathons this morning,

Rod Farvard, breaking a Jim Walmsley course record down in Santa Barbara, Anton Kripichka,

resigning a new partnership with Las Portiva, some trail con news,

and then we close by previewing what you can expect from free trail coverage of the

Big Alta, the race that we put on in partnership with our dear friends at daybreak racing

here in Marinwood, California, home of free trail HQ. And on the trails that I run every day,

we are going to be welcoming about 500 athletes to do the races this weekend and I

can't freaking wait. We talk about all that stuff in today's episode. Before we get to it, a big

thanks to our sponsors to make the show possible. Speedland, never second, Osprey and keep tone IQ.

that day. Probably neither, to be honest.

But then, yeah, hit up the Mount Baker ski area for two days with my husband and a couple of

our friends and just like skied the deepest pow of my life in the backcountry. It was,
