This episode is part of Freetrail's annual Trail Runner of the Year Rollout -- an opportunity to reflect on the 2025 season and celebrate the athletes who performed the best according to the global trail running community. We're proud to partner with All Conditions Gear to bring the awards to life.
Today we welcome the #3 Trail Runners of the Year, Caleb Olson of the USA and Sara Alonso of Spain.
Caleb established himself as one of the best long course athletes in the world, starting his season with a huge win and CR at Transgrancanaria before focusing his attention on the Western States 100 where he won in the second fastest time ever. To close the year, Caleb posted a dominant victory at Australia's GPT100 -- also winning the World Trail Majors overall.
Sara Alonso was arguably the strongest short course athlete on the women's side in 2025, finishing 2nd in the Golden Trail World Series with strong wins at Kobe Trail and Zegama. She also finished 4th at OCC and 2nd place at the Short Trail World Championship.
