• Episode 112: Javelina Jundred Recap: Crewing, Community, and Getting More Women to the Start Line

  In Episode 112 of Trail Society, Corrine, Keely, and Hillary head to the desert for the Javelina Jundred. Keely was on the ground with the rabbit x Trail Society scholarship athletes, Clarivel Vega and Daisy, crewing, pacing, and celebrating their powerful performances. From first trail race jitters and high and low moments, to late-night grit, the weekend was a reminder that showing up for one another can make all the difference. The crew dives into what it means to create access, not just by giving out scholarships, but by building community and support systems that help women get to the start line and stay in the sport. They also discuss cut-off times in ultra races and how expanding the times may impact finish rates and access to women.  They also recap some of the record-breaking performances from Javelina's golden ticket chase and reflect on how mentorship and representation can spark the next generation of trail runners.   Big shout out to our sponsor, rabbit, for helping us with this scholarship.

• Episode 111: Discipline or Disorder? The Psychology of REDs in Ultra-Endurance Athletes with Jill Colangelo

  In this episode of Trail Society, Corrine, Keely, and Hillary sit down with researcher Jill Colangelo to unpack their newly published review, "Exploring the Presentation of REDs in Ultra Endurance Sport." This conversation dives deep into the intersection of low energy availability (LEA), disordered eating (DE), and exercise dependence (EXD), issues that are all too common yet rarely discussed openly in the ultra-endurance community. Many athletes are unknowingly underfueling, especially for efforts lasting over two and a half hours, and whether this is intentional or unintentional, the consequences can be profound. The discussion explores how extreme training volumes, psychological pressures, and cultural norms around toughness and body image make ultra athletes uniquely vulnerable to both the physiological and psychological components of Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs). Together, Jill and Keely break down what current research tells us, and what's still missing, about fueling, recovery, and mental health in endurance athletes. They also tackle one of the hardest questions for athletes and coaches alike: how do we tell the difference between being disciplined and being disordered? This episode challenges assumptions, questions long-held beliefs about "grit" in sport, and offers a more compassionate lens on what it means to truly care for the athlete's body and mind.

• Episode 110: Scholarship Spotlight: Clarivel Vega on Finding Belonging

  In this episode of Trail Society, Corrine, Keely, and Hillary break down an action-packed World Mountain and Trail Running Championships, where Team USA came away with hardware and Hillary surprised us all with a double, competing in both the vertical and the long trail events. Hilly shares what it was like to rock the Team USA kit, how she pivoted from preparing for a one-hour climb to suddenly taking on an 80km ultra, and what she learned from the experience. The crew also highlights the story of Clarivel Vega, this year's 30km Javelina Trail Society Scholarship recipient. A first-generation Latina and lifelong runner, Clarivel has found strength, resilience, and belonging in the running community after growing up without family support for her sport and managing a chronic illness. From her roots in Santa Ana with Keep Runnin Santa Ana to her new adventure on the trails, her story is a powerful reminder of why representation matters and why we're committed to getting more underrepresented runners to the start line.   HUGE thanks to our sponsor rabbit for helping us with this scholarship.

• Episode 109: Taking Space on the Trails: A Conversation with Scholarship Winner Daisy Martinez

  Episode 109 of Trail Society features an inspiring conversation with Daisy Martinez, the rabbit x Trail Society 100K scholarship winner whose story embodies resilience and representation. A Mexican American ultrarunner from Los Angeles, Daisy started trail running in 2016 and has since transformed personal challenges into fuel for her running journey. As a teen parent and now single mother, she credits the endurance and grit she built while raising her son with helping her push through the mental and physical demands of ultrarunning. Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2023, Daisy has been learning how to continue pursuing the sport she loves while managing the realities of an autoimmune disease. Beyond her personal racing goals, Daisy is driven by a deep commitment to community. She co-founded Chingonas on the Run to empower women, especially women of color, to take up space in trail running and the outdoors. From racing her first ultramarathons, to training for Javelina 100K, Daisy embraces each challenge as a way to learn, grow, and inspire others. Through her scholarship, she hopes to show what's possible when passion meets support, and to blaze a trail for more underrepresented runners at start lines everywhere.  We are so excited to see what she can do at Javalina!

• Episode 108: Supporting Athlete-Mothers, Record Women's Participation & Ruth Croft's Triple Crown at UTMB

  In this episode of Trail Society, Corrine Malcolm, Keely Henninger, and Hillary Allen dive into one of the biggest weeks in trail running, the 2025 UTMB Finals. From brutal weather and historically high dropout rates to some of the closest top-10 finishes ever, the crew breaks down all the drama across OCC, CCC, and UTMB. They highlight standout wins from Jim Walmsley, Ruth Croft, and Francesco Puppi, celebrate trailblazing performances from athletes representing countries new to the UTMB stage, and reflect on the growing but still uneven women's participation numbers. Beyond the race results, they explore what it means for athletes to double between UTMB, Hardrock, and upcoming World Championships, and touch on the ever-buzzing brand scene in Chamonix. Beyond the race, the crew highlights systemic challenges in sport: Strava and For All Mothers+ awarded $2,000 grants to 50 athlete-mothers to cover childcare costs and training expenses, directly addressing the "motherhood penalty" that prevents so many women from competing at the highest level. Tune in for a mix of insights, stories from the ground, and the unique perspective only this crew can bring.
