The Trail Ahead: Consumer & Industry Trends Shaping Trail Running (TRE Live Panel)

The Freetrail Podcast with Dylan Bowman

This is a recording from a live panel conducted at The Running Event - the running industry's largest trade show. One of the big trends in running is the growth of trail running as a sub-category, something that is felt palpably at TRE. To contextualize this growth, I'm joined by two fantastic guests:

We talk about the following topics:

  • Growth trends in the sport
  • Trail Culture as a growth driving phenomenon
  • Cultural impact vs. commercial impact - the realities of the size of the market
  • How people are discovering and experiencing the sport
  • The impact of star athletes on the business of trail
  • Marketplace dynamics (tariffs, inflation, competition, etc.)
  • Q&A!
