We are pleased to announce that we at Trail Runner Magazine are partnering this year with the Estes Trail Ascent—Trail Running Conference. This second annual weekend of all things trail running is slated to occur in the majestic mountain town of Estes Park, Colorado on October 9-11, 2014. (The inaugural conference took place over two days in June 2013.)

This three-day event is, in the words of its organizers, “a unique opportunity for trail runners to gather and have an opportunity to learn and be inspired by some of the best trail runners and experts in the USA.” Here’s what to expect:

  • Day 1 devoted to trail race directors
  • Days 2 and 3 devoted to all trail runners
  • Expert speaker panels
  • Group runs with guest-star athletes
  • Interactive workshops on running technique, training methods and other topics
  • Trail expo with demo gear

The weekend caps off with a 5.8-mile trail race in beautiful Estes Park on Sunday, Oct. 12! Registration for the conference is currently open. You can learn more at www.estestrailascent.com.
