IT’S COMING!
Yes, your favourite dirty magazine is finally going Back to the Future. We’re getting some flesh on our traditionally digital bones, and making the move to becoming a grown-up subscriber-based print magazine that will be delivered directly to your door.
We are, after all, 21 editions old! Time to grow up! Sort of.
So here’s the plan. We’ll launch in coming weeks (late September 2016), a Pozible campaign to rouse enough interest via your subscriptions to push the print button. You’ll have the opportunity to sign up for one or two years, with a whole bunch of added extras to choose from, not the least one of our awesome One Life. Many Trails. t-shirts (new design!) or take up one of our Smartwool trail running sock and
subscription offers!
So, stay tuned – be sure to ‘sign up’ first to our email database (enter your email in the Subscribe field on our homepage, just under the main slider display) and/or stay tuned to Facebook, Twitter or Instagram accounts. We’ll launch by late September.
Help us go viable from the get-go, sign up for a subscription, sign up anyone you know who has a birthday coming up, and importantly share around the news!
Once you subscribe, you’ll get your first of four editions (or eight if you subscribe for two years) beginning early November.
We will also be selling the magazine via selected specialist running retailers – those who truly ‘get’ and are as passionate as we are about the trail running lifestyle. So you will in the future also be able to slip into any one of the running shops shown below to get your trail shoes, sort your trail kit and nab a copy of the mag.
Thanks for your ongoing support and we hope to see your name on the subscription list come the time! Stay tuned for news…
One life. Many trails.
Chris, Tegyn, Amanda and the rest of the TRM team.

FAQ
HOW DO I SUBSCRIBE?
In the first instance, via a Pozible (fundraising) campaign, that will be launched late September.
HOW DO I KNOW WHEN THE SUBSCRIPTION DRIVE OPENS THROUGH POZIBLE?
We will publicise the ‘open for subscription’ campaign via our website, social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram), and send out an email to our database.
HOW CAN I GET ON YOUR EMAIL LIST SO I KNOW WHEN THE CAMPAIGN BEGINS?
There is a small ‘Subscribe’ field located on our homepage. Look for the following, not far below the big slider display:
HOW LONG WILL THE INITIAL SUBSCRIPTION OFFER RUN?
The Pozible campaign will run for approximately four weeks. We urge you to sign up as soon as you can and tell your trail running mates to do the same. As with all Pozible campaigns, we will need to make the target amount of subscriptions for the campaign to be successful and for us to receive your funds to then proceed with the print edition.
WHAT HAPPENS IF THE TARGET AMOUNT IS NOT REACHED IN THE POSSIBLE CAMPAIGN?
You will not be charged and we will not be able to proceed with the quarterly print editions! So please, support us so we can realise the dream of Australia’s first ever PRINTED trail magazine!
WHAT HAPPENS IF THE TARGET AMOUNT IS REACHED ?
You will be charged, and we will get to work on pressing the print button for the first editions. You will then receive a total of four (or eight if subscribing for two years).
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN MY SUBSCRIPTION EXPIRES?
After the Pozible account has run, we will transfer your details to a subscription database. When you are one edition away from coming out of your subscription period (i.e. three months) we will send you a reminder to re-subscribe. And we hope you will!
WILL THE MAGAZINE BE AVAILABLE AS SINGLE EDITIONS?
Yes, via specialist running retailers and selected news agencies. However in the first instance we encourage you to subscribe so we can get to the point of supplying printed editions to retailers in the first place!
