Description
Trail Run Magazine – Edition 57 has arrived, and it’s reaching new heights. This issue takes you above the treeline, beyond the expected, and deep into the heart of what it means to move with purpose through wild terrain. It opens with the powerful story of Gurkha Kiran Gurung, whose quiet humility and relentless drive redefine endurance. Editor Kate Dzienis speaks with him in a rare one-on-one, tracing his journey from soldier to runner – where discipline, respect, and strength are carried through every step. Across the sands of the Gobi Desert, the Ultra Gobi unfolds through breathtaking photography. This brutal ultra marathon is captured in stark, haunting frames – a visual journey through solitude, light, and the vast silence of one of the world’s most unforgiving landscapes. Australian trail running takes centre stage as Samantha Turnbull explores the work of Calumn Hockey, whose photography captures the soul of the sport. His pursuit of the perfect shot is a story of precision, patience, and timing on the trails. From sea level to sky, the issue explores the gravity-defying world of skyrunning – where runners push boundaries at altitude, chasing clarity in thin air and open space. It’s about movement at its most pure. Also returning is the 2026 Event Guide – your complete calendar of races, challenges, and bucket-list adventures across Australia and New Zealand. It’s everything you need to shape your trail year ahead. Loaded with powerful storytelling, stunning photography, gear insights, and features that speak the language of the wild, TRM57 is your call to keep moving forward.
