Trail Run 16.01.2026

This edition is all about rise – rising talent, rising terrain, rising voices, and the quiet momentum that builds when you keep showing up.

Ultra Series takes centre stage in TRM58, with this edition proudly delivering a 14-page Ultra Series Special Feature. It’s a deep dive into the races, the athletes, and the stories that define the toughest end of the sport – celebrating the grit, strategy, and spirit that live at ultra distance.

We then lead with our feature on George Knight, one of Australian trail running’s brightest young talents. At just 21, George is already stacking wins, chasing continents, and redefining what’s possible with humility and joy. In a candid one-on-one with Editor Kate Dzienis, we dive into handwritten notes, wildcards, world rankings, and the community that shaped him.

From there, we climb into the world of altitude training, where David Byrne unpacks the science, the tech, and the real-world gains behind thin air and big performance. It’s followed by Above the Clouds: Mount Fuji Adventures, a journey to Japan’s most iconic peak where culture, challenge and climbing legs collide.

We go on to turn the spotlight to the women shaping the future of the sport in Wild At Stride: Women Re-Writing Trails – a powerful look at leadership, inclusion, and the voices driving change across trail running.

As always, TRM58 is packed with stunning photography, expert columns, race reports, and gear and shoe reviews.

This is an edition about momentum. About climbing even when it’s hard. About new voices, higher places, and the power of not standing still.

So lace up, look up, and keep rising.
