TrailManners
The TrailManners crew is from the beautiful trails in Ogden, Utah and we’re here to connect you to wherever trail, ultra and mountain running takes us. We’ll chat with amazing athletes, discuss the latest trends and get you stoked for your next trail adventure. We will have interviews, gear reviews, race reports, LOTS of podcasts, contests and loads of entertainment from beers of the week, random bigfoot sightings, race updates and everything in between. TrailManners is about capturing the moment: the possibility that everyday has the potential to be the best day of your life. Every day. We promise to always bring our passion and love for the trails as well as a healthy appetite for cheese curds and a solid IPA. We want to thank you for taking this journey with us. Aric W.

We have been working on a new project and its time to announce it: Project Taper Up!
What is Taper Up?
Our mission is to create engaging, educational, and empowering content that helps runners "Taper Up" in life, health, and fitness—no matter their pace. By combining expert insights and decades of trail-running experience, we aim to inspire our community to enjoy the trails to their fullest potential.
The goal of the Taper Up Podcast is to create a vibrant space where runners over 50 can find inspiration, community, and actionable insights to thrive on and off the trails.
Each episode will feature engaging conversations with trail running legends, everyday athletes, and experts in health, fitness, and gear. By sharing incredible stories, practical advice, and the occasional laugh, our podcast aims to empower listeners to embrace their passion for running at any pace and every stage of life. Whether you're chasing a new PR or simply enjoying the journey, the Taper Up Podcast is here to keep you moving forward

We had a great time talking to Michael about his love for running and going after the 100 mile distance. If you talk to Michael you can see the happiness all over his face, he truly love being in the mountains and has a deep passion for what he does. As Michael says- "More is better."
When you see him on the trail, expect a high five or a big hug. What Michael brings to the trails is definitely contagious.
Good Luck with 2025 and we can't wait to see what's next!

Justin just finished his 3rd Bear 100 and took the time to sit down and give us a blow by blow account. I had the pleasure of pacing Justin for a few miles and got a front row seat of how our struggles might slow us down but our heart and will can carry us through some tough times. He is as strong as they come and he "gutted" this one out with some help from his family.

I feel extremely fortunate to have been involved with the trail running community since 2006. Whether it is running, racing, podcasting, race directing, being a team manager, product testing, HUMR founder or a volunteer- the friendships I have forged with so many amazing people will always be my greatest memories. Mountains and trails are my passions and I can’t say no to a good adventure.
Bringing TrailManners to life has been life changing and a dream come true. I am so happy Joel Hatch and I started this journey- now let’s see where else it can take us.
