On September 19th 2020, runners from all over the world are going to be a part of a global celebration of trail running and we want YOU to get involved.
Getting involved is easy. You could enter for FREE, pledging to do a trail run on 19th September 2020. You'll also receive a FREE 15-page "10 Ways Trail Running Will Change You Life" e-book. Or you could enter and receive a customised finishers medal (pick any distance you'd like to run). Or you could apply to become an ambassador for Global Trail Running Day!
To become an ambassador is easy, too. All you have to do is agree to promote GTRD, and go for a trail run on 19th Sept 2020. Optionally, you could host a trail running event that can be as simple a matter as getting a few of your friends and family to run with you on the day itself.
All GTRD ambassadors will become part of a global team taking forward the message about the values of trail running, will be named on our ambassadors’ roster below, plus you will receive a free t-shirt to wear on the day.
Join the team? Please get in touch if you'd like to be an ambassador info@lovetrailsfestival.co.uk
CEO of Midnight Runners
This year will see Jody return for his fourth talk at Love Trails Festival. After 8 years in the Army, running in some of the world's most extreme and dangerous yet iconic and interesting locations, he joins us this year as the CEO of Midnight Runners which under his leadership has grown from one city to eleven on four continents and has become one of the world's largest running communities. However Jody is far from just another urban runner. As an ultra long distance runner he has just returned from running across the central Asian country of Tajikistan. In this talk he will reflect on his own journey in the sport he loves and the people he has met on along the way. From Palestinians using running as a way of telling the story of their lives under occupation in the West Bank, to founding the Mogadishu Marathon in the Somali Capital in the middle of a 26 year old civil war, to what it's actually like to run in Afghanistan; this talk will tell the story of modern running, through the eyes of somebody who has had the unique opportunity to connect with people whose running narrative is rarely told - but whose stories are breathtaking - and that most of all how running, in whatever shape or form - can truly change the world.
