About

This website is by trail runners, and for trail runners. I built it with the help of some friends, because I love exploring new races and saw that it was a pain in the butt for people to find good, vetted races that also fit with their big race goals. Crappy websites, poor checkout processes, and also rising race prices kind of got me upset. I also have found some of those more “unknown” trail races that have just been an absolute delight. Cool local vibes, free giveaways, amazing after-parties steeped in giving back to the community, and reasonable price. Some of those races felt like stumbling into a neighbor's BBQ after a big day out on a new route.

DiscoverTrailRaces.com is something I hope to grow consistently over the years. There’s lots planned. Right now, I’m interested in having short interviews (quick calls or longer WhatsApp convos) with trail runners about recent ultras they ran, so it’s a more trusted resource for ultra runners. Knowing the key details from racers of previous race editions can make or break it race day. You can check one out here.

If you can share your own Runner Voice or have a race recap to contribute, just fill out the form below, and I’ll reach out within a day.

P.S. A bit about me — I spend about half the year in Spain so love running in Spain’s mountains, particularly the islands. I’m reasonably new to ultra running — I’ve run the TransGranCanaria Classic twice, as well as the first year of the Mallorca UTMB Pedra Seca 100km, and the Tryavna Ultra 80km in Bulgaria. My girlfriend is signed up for the Sormlands 100km, which I’m looking forward to exploring as well.
