A voice, an image, a story: you shape the world of trail running.
Trail running isn't just about the trails and race bibs. It lives on through the stories that are passed down, the images that send shivers down your spine, the voices that accompany your training runs, and the tales that make you want to lace up a pair of shoes.
For the 2026 edition, the Trail Running Awards by Mile & Stone are introducing a new category dedicated to those who inspire the community: Content Creator of the Year.
Whether you’ve made a groundbreaking documentary, written an inspiring book, produced a captivating podcast, or built a dedicated community on social media, this award is yours.
