It’s weekend. Time to sit back and watch some trail stoke. From our archive and part of our Fall Online Watch Party and Fundraiser:

*Faith in the Future* - Adam Wells @ajwells and Ryan Scura @doosterfilm

As wildfires continue to damage his home trails in Oregon, pro runner Mario Mendoza Jr. @mendozarunner confronts what the climate crisis means to him not just as a professional athlete, but as a coach, pastor, and father.

*Finding Her Stride* - by Nicole Amyx @nixamyx9

In “Finding Her Stride”, Nicole embarks on a trail marathon herself to try and catch a glimpse of the ultra-running world and to try and figure out if maybe this is the answer to the inner anxiety that she has lived with most of her life.
