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.

TrailManners was really looking forward to this interview with Abram Dickerson of Aspire Adventure Running. Not only has the Wonderland Trail been on a "Bucket List" adventure for over 10 years but they have so many more amazing opportunities for runners. Abram talks about how it all started and a great approach to running in some magnificent areas.
Thank you Abram and Aspire for all you do for the community.

There was only one option for TrailManners on not only who do interview for #300 but also to start off the re-launch. We looked no further than the legend himself- Joel Hatch. Joel was not only a big reason why TrailManners came to life but also is a solid person and great friend. His years in not only the outdoor industry but trail running help us wrap our heads around the growth of the sport. Of course, we take a trip down memory lane but we also talk trials and strength training.
Thank you Joel for all you have done for TrailManners and the person you are in our community.

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.
