The Logbook for the Trail Running World

Electric Cable Car is part of Trail Tracks Network.

Just a month until the new Skyrunner USA National Series kicks off. Four incredible races invite you to touch the sky: Whiteface Skyrace, Beast of Big Creek, Skeetawk Skyline Scramble, Kismet Cliff Run.

Nick left his senior editor role at Outside this week:

After two years, my creative and professional drives are taking me to places beyond running. I am in the process of re-engaging with work devoted to the animate world, a pledging of allegiance to wildness (inner/outer), and to matters of climate and justice. Following a decade in publishing, I plan to harness my writing and editorial experience to support this intersection of ecology and artistic subversion—it’s just too urgent not to.

I just listened to his ‘Short’ episode on Dirtbag Diaries from last December on my run yesterday and I was reminded on how running can be so much more than metrics, numbers and results. It’s a beautiful, simple yet powerful thing, and sometimes it can move mountains. I cannot wait to follow Nick’s journey to see what he’s up to next… like publishing a book.
