TrailManners
Welcome to the TrailManners Podcast! The place where the trail community comes alive!
I’m your host, Aric Manning, coming to you from the beautiful trails of Ogden, Utah — and connecting you to the trail, ultra, and mountain running community everywhere.
Since 2015, we’ve been chasing dirt, vert, and stories that inspire — from epic adventures to everyday trail legends.
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.

Preston Wood received good news the first time he put in for the Western States 100 lottery last year and has been training hard ever since. We had a great time talking with Preston and cannot wait to get him back on after the race. He sat down with us the day before he raced the Squaw Peak 50 and we grilled him on his upcoming Western race. He is such a great guy and we cannot send enough good vibes for his trip to Auburn later this month. Good Luck Preston- TrailManners will be sending all the good mojo your way!
***Update on his 2018 Squaw Peak 50- In the podcast he mentined his goal is to go under 10:30. Preston finished in 9:37

TrailManners
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 way back in 2015 - now let’s see where else it can take us.
