Trail Running and the Environment
June 15, 1978 by Bryon Powell · Leave a Comment
As trail runners, we get to see the gifts of nature more often than most. Indeed, our sport necessarily integrates us with the natural world. Therefore, it only seems appropriate for us to consider the impact our actions have on that which we enjoy. Accordingly, iRunFar has featured posts investigating the places where trail running and the environment intersect.
