In this episode, I talk with Mark McColgan, crew chief of the Saint John Trail Running Club, about how he went from hating running to becoming a central figure in Saint John’s growing trail scene.
We get into how trail running differs from road running, the stories behind races like Looney Loops and Bootstrap Boogie, and how the club grew into a 5,000+ member community. We also talk safety tips, night running, gear (yes, chafing is real), and the fear of “being last.”
Whether you’re deep into the trail life or just trail-curious, Mark’s honest, funny take on the sport—and the culture around it—is worth a listen.
