The TRAIL 2 Update

Trail running is the new black. Just like mountain biking rode out of nowhere and knocked the wheels from under road cycling, trail running is the antidote to running on crowded, often hazardous roads.

It's a breath of fresh air for anyone who has been a runner for any length of time. It’s booming - and it’s only going to get bigger.

Comments from the team

"The latest issue is looking great! It's 100 pages of trail running and only trail running. We're pleased to share it with you all," says publisher Deon Braun.

Editor Hugh Pines says: "Instead of your favourite sport being covered as a sideline, TRAIL brings everything you need and want to know under one title. We hope you're excited about it because we certainly are."

Art Director Cobus Botha: "Om aan die eerste uitgawe van TRAIL te gewerk het was 'n opbouende ervaring. Met die invloedryke fotos kan mens nie help om na avontuur te smag en inspirasie te vind nie. Versteekte wonders waar net jou twee voete jou kan neem. Of jy nou al die destinasies besoek het of nie, is ek seker jy sal terug kom vir nog."
