This short documentary is about a traditional
Japanese long-distance relay race called Ekiden.
In 2021, one particular team held an Ekiden race in
New York City to display the city’s diversity and

how different people can unite by running togeth-
er to achieve a common goal. And although a

race, the event never involves any competition,
and so this film focuses on what makes the Ekiden
so incredibly unique – it’s history and how today it
spreads a message of positivity and unity.

Get a healthy dose of adventure with Trail Run Mag edition #43 – from an intimate chat with South Australian ultra runner Dan Whitehead who shares what it’s like living with Crohn’s, to Isobel Ross who gives TRM an all exclusive recap of her time at the infamous 2022 Barkley Marathon in Tennessee, USA.

Trail Run Mag was the first in Australasia (Australia, New Zealand and Asia) to be dedicated to the pursuit of trail running. The magazine was initially made available only as a digital download, with more than 200,000 copies downloaded and read to date.
After publishing digitally for 21 editions and five years (you can still download those for here), Trail Run Mag became Australia's first print magazine dedicated to the trail running lifestyle, in November 2016. In 2019, Trail Run Mag merged with Trail Runner NZ & Australia to create one awesome Trail Run Mag for trailer runners in Australia and New Zealand!

RUNNING LIKE A NUTR

RUN LIKE A GIRL: Female runners have been making headlines in the past couple of years for outlasting men in endurance events. It seems the longer, the better.
ROCKY RUAHINE HIGH: The mighty Ruahine Range rises sharply on the North Island of New Zealand, offering sublime views for those daring enough to tackle it. 
ROCKY RUAHINE HIGH: The mighty Ruahine Range rises sharply on the North Island of New Zealand, offering sublime views for those daring enough to tackle it. 
END-TO-ENDURANCE MISSION: Piotr Babis decided to celebrate the end of his two years living and working in Tasmania not by having a few drinks at the pub, but by running the length of the island state.
NORTHERN EXPOSURE: Adventurers Luen Warneke and Jodie Rummer spend their weekends exploring the hidden gems of Townsville and North Queensland. Realizing that not many locals were aware of what was on their doorstep, they created Wanderstories, now a thriving online community for outdoor explorers – and trail runners like you.
SOLID GOLD: In 2020, three mates – Ross McPhee, Simon Austin, and John Robinson – attempted to set the fastest known time on the Goldfields Track: a 200km point-to-point trail linking the historic gold rush towns of Ballarat and Bendigo in central Victoria. Of course, not all went to plan. 
O’REILLY'S TO THE ROCK: Yearning for a bit of adventure and mateship, in mid-2020, six dads embarked on an incredible self-styled quest. Dubbed O’Reilly’s to the Rock, the 19-hour trail run not only linked some of the most iconic scenery in the Gold Coast Hinterland but the hearts and minds of the friends who conquered it writes Kierun Douglass.

Trail Run Mag is a magazine entirely devoted to the dirty art of trail running.
