Eleventh annual conference, Mukilteo, WA, October 18-20, 2023

Runners High Medallions

The conference provided a great opportunity to not only showcase our products but also allowed us time to talk with individuals about what products and services they would like to see in the sport.

To anyone questioning whether it’s worth attending based solely off the agenda: There’s so much more than the presentation content to get out of this conference. Come for the structured learning, absolutely, but come too for the networking and the exchange that you can have with others in this community!

Big thank you to USTRC for the informative sessions, resources and opportunities that are offered throughout the year.  I learn something every single time I go to conference, or listen to an educational session. I value the opportunity to meet & learn from fellow Race Directors and trail runners at Conference. These lessons have been life/business changing things that have added so much to the Ornery Mule Racing events and Midwest trail running community. Sometimes I come across new situations that I will recall something I learned at conference to help me make an informed decisions. I love the high bar that the Conference sets then challenges us as Race Directors to find a way to get there. Let’s keep supporting one another, growing our sport, and helping all people find a safe place in the trail running community.

3 Bros Running Company

From start to finish, the US Trail Running Conference was fantastic. Not only did you gain access to a wealth of useful knowledge about the trail running sector, but you also made contacts with the top trail races in the nation. I’d recommend this event to any race director who wants to network, learn, and do a little trail running.

Being new to race directing the US Trail Conference was instrumental in helping us to understand our tasks ahead of us. It was great to meet and network with many seasoned race directors and organizers.
