Description
Welcome to Trail Culture, the podcast set against the stunning backdrop of the mountains in the Jonkershoek Valley. The mission is to share stories, research, and insights sourced from the wealth of knowledge within the trail running community, spanning both South Africa and the wider world.
Trail Culture explores the heart of trail running and outdoor adventure. From interviews with coaches, athletes, and researchers to discussions on training tips, gear recommendations, and tales of triumph, our podcast covers all aspects of this great sport.
Every trail has a unique story to tell. Whether you're a seasoned trail runner, a nature enthusiast, or simply curious about the world of outdoor sports, "Trail Culture" has something for you.
So, come along as we venture through the Jonkershoek Valley and beyond, guided by the stories we find along the way. Lace up your shoes, tune in, and embark on a journey of inspiration and exploration.
