On Running: Trail Blaider
BRANDED CONTENT
Trail runner Zachary Friedley is used to being told he can’t do things, and then doing them anyway. This summer, he set his eyes on one of trail running’s hardest and most prestigious events: the UTMB MCC race, an epic run through the French Alps that stretches 40km with 2300m of elevation change.
But Zachary didn’t just want to compete for himself; he wanted to show the world that adaptive athletes belong on the trail, and they are officially here to compete.
“Trail Blader” tells the story of Zachary’s journey to UTMB, the life events that led him to it and what he envisions for the future of inclusion in trail running.
