support local

In the first installment of The Backyard Stories, we travel to Marin County, California, to talk with elite ultrarunner and Protect Our Winters alliance captain Stephanie Howe about parenthood, farmers markets, and baking the perfect galette. 

As many trail running events grow larger, many runners are gravitating toward smaller grassroots events with a more intimate, personal feel. 

Most of us have a deep connection to our local running store. Runners supporting shops - and vice versa - build a healthy trail community.
