## Resource

Today on The Rock Fight , Colin, Eoin Comerford, and Producer Dave put three buzzworthy trail running brands to the test in the first-ever America’s Next Top Trail Running Brand showdown. Focusing on Brand Position, Retail Appeal, and wear test performance, the trio have a look at Speedland , Norda , and Mount to Coast to crown one who will move on to the next round (provided there will be a next round). But before the big shoe showdown, they have a look at a couple of stories that have come out of the outdoor trade show scene: OIA and Switchback’s deeper partnership (and what it means for Outdoor Retailer) The new Cascade Summit trade show launching in Portland in 2026 Next Adventure LIVES! Nike vs. Adidas: Can Adi take down the top dog? Lastly for The Parting Shot presented by Garage Grown Gear , Colin uses history as a bucket of cold water for all of the people out there who think that trail running is the next big mainstream sport.
