Trail Run Magazine

Trail Run Mag was the first in Australasia (Australia, New Zealand and Asia) to be dedicated to the rising pursuit of trail running. The magazine was made available solely as a digital download, with more than 168,000 copies downloaded and read to date.

After publishing digitally for 21 editions and five years, Trail Run Mag became Australia’s first print magazine dedicated to the trail running lifestyle, in November 2016.

In a Back to the Future moment, publishers Adventure Types moved to a print quarterly  in response to a growing call for a physical magazine by its dedicated readership.

Trail Run Mag #46

A new year means a new collection of adventures, and boy, have our writers and photographers taken themselves off the beaten track! Bringing you the very best in story-telling and imagery, TRM46 is the edition you won’t want to let go of! Featuring seriously insane trail photography, we have articles that are sure to inspire and motivate you to your next trail fix goal – environmental activist Erchana Murray-Bartlett recaps her marathon-a-day fundraiser from Qld to Vic, see what it’s like living the nomadic lifestyle in a motorhome across NZ and learn how to run your first ever 50km if you’re ready to take your training to the next level! That’s not all though! TRM46 is bangin’ it with features. We have a stunning photography essay by NZ photographer Sean Beale, talk to 6633 Arctic Ultra winner Paul Watkins, chat with Kiwi Tanya Bottomley about finding her courage, and learn all about plogging from Karin Traeger who ran the length of the Yarra River. TRM46 also has the latest book and gear reviews, our favourite columns, and our ever popular Wise Words segment!

Trail runners don’t run over obstacles or failure. WE RUN THEM DOWN. And TRM46 is your finish line reward.

So let’s wake up really early and run really fast! Happy trails
