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.

Wednesday Mar 22, 2023
Here we go, Here we go, here we go again! We are back and right out of the gate we wanted to do a 2 part series. Before and after your first 50 mile trail race. Our good friend Kirk Probasco is about to take on the Buffalo Run 50 mile race on March 24, 2023. This will be his first 50 mile race and we get him behind the mic to get some thoughts. This show is much more than someone taking on a 50 mile race, Kirk has conquered so much more in his life. He started running at 47 years old and hasn't looked back.
Good Luck Kirk! Now Go Get It!

What else in store for 2022

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.
