Trail tribe, TRM60 is here! And it’s taking you to some of the most extraordinary places on earth.
This edition goes beyond the trail and into the wild, the desert, and the front lines of conservation, bringing you stories that remind us why we run and what running can stand for.
We lead with Running Wild in Big Five Country – our editor, Kate Dzienis, investigates Kenya’s most remote conservancies for the For Rangers Ultra, a 230km five-stage race run in service of the rangers protecting Africa’s most endangered wildlife. Speaking with Save the Rhino International’s Cathy Dean MBE and Lewa Wildlife Conservancy’s Head of Anti-Poaching Edward Ndiritu, this is a story about purpose, partnership, and what happens when trail runners and conservationists share the same ground.
From Africa, we cross to the Arabian Peninsula, where Samantha Turnbull speaks with Major Natalie Taylor – British Army GP, Antarctica expeditioner and ultra endurance athlete – about placing third in the Oman Desert Marathon.
Closer to home, we celebrate the inaugural Kea Series where Maia Flint soared to women’s series glory and Eric Speakman edged a thrilling men’s competition. Michael Sutton takes us through a season that proved New Zealand’s trail community is very much alive and running.
Our Dream Run two-page spread heads to Greenland, where 24 runners will line up for the ASI Ultra Expedition, and our expert columnists return with insight across coaching, physio, nutrition, and environmental responsibility.
And rounding it all out, TRM60 delivers our biggest group shoe test yet – 12 pairs put through their paces on the same terrain and conditions – plus gear, nutrition, and book reviews to fuel your next adventure on and off the trail.
As always, the photography is stunning, the storytelling is honest, and the community is everything.
Lace up. The world is waiting.
