Last year all these seemingly convoluted and conflicting schedules among all the different organizations prompted me to build the Global Trail Race Calendar. I have not updated it, and am thinking on how to amend it for 2025. IF you only care about one race series – as an elite athlete for example – I think these calendars all make sense. You just follow the organization you care about – done. But if you’re media, for example, and want to understand what is happening on any given week in the world of trail and mountain running it gets very busy and difficult to follow. I’ll stew on this over the next few weeks and will see what I come up with – stay tuned.
