Summary
How can the trail running community shift from extractive to additive models when it comes to our public lands? In this special episode of Bonus Smiles , we spotlight an inspiring panel discussion hosted by Runners for Public Lands (RPL) at TrailCon. Speakers from the panel highlight how the trail running community can better show up for public lands–as individual runners, what races and race directors can do, and how brands can support initiatives across the sport and industry. Whether you're a casual trail runner, an ultra marathoner, or a public radio supporter, discover how finding a deeper connection with your local trails can help shape a sustainable future for outdoor recreation.
