Trail tribe, TRM55 has landed and it’s blazing a bold new path! This edition is all about grit, growth, and the game changers redefining what’s possible on and off the trail. From the raw truths of endurance to the quiet strength of community, we’re digging into the stories that fuel your fire and keep you moving—one dusty step at a time.

Leading the charge: we explore the science behind why women aren’t just keeping pace in ultras—they’re poised to lead. With insights into physiology, psychology, and performance, this feature might just flip the script on who’s chasing who.

From the red zones of extreme endurance, British runner Jon Shield takes us inside his historic feat of becoming the first man to win every race in Beyond the Ultimate’s Global Race Series.

Meanwhile, in Aotearoa’s deep south, Patrick and Joanna Manulat have turned loops into lifelines with the Sandy Point Backyard Ultra. It’s more than a race—it’s a rally cry for resilience.

TRM55 also spotlights Aussie ultrarunner and coach Jodie Oborne, whose journey from the Perth hills to the global stage shows trail running doesn’t discriminate—it elevates.

And because no race happens without them, we honor the backbone of every event: the volunteers. From taping toes to lifting spirits, these unsung heroes deserve more than a shoutout—and in TRM55, they get it.

Packed with stunning photography, must-read race reports, gear advice, and nutrition tips, TRM55 will keep you inspired, informed, and trail-ready.

So lace up, lean in, and let’s go long—the wild is waiting.
