Kris Van de Velde is the founder of Asia Trail Master, the number one event series of trail running in Asia. Now coming to its 10th edition, Kris and Asia Trail Master have been instrumental in building up the community in Asia. He joins us on the show to share insights of the last 10 years, how runner’s interests and races are changing and which countries are still growing. Also, he is an expert of the Chinese running and cycling community. He provides a great spotlight on the Chinese market, from runners, races to brands. This is a must listen for anyone looking for an overview of the Asian trail running landscape.
In the news section, we cover the unfortunate fatality in a French race, an update on Spring Energy and how female runners are covered in the news.
