We take our picks for the main races, explore some notable storylines, and wondering why Ryan Montgomery isn't running t...

Do you know Tom Hooper? Are you aware he could live solely on Pop Tarts? He’s also the Race director of Sunapee Scramble, and like 50 other freakin’ races. The guy stays runnin’, slangin’ drinks, and making people dreams come true by keeping East Coast races alive. It’s always fun and games here at Chasin’ Trail, but Tom is actually a really great guy doing some really great things for the sport o...

We are back from a long break but extremely excited to be back behind the mic.

And don’t get us started on mountain goats — great climbers, but would they even show up to a group run? We break it...
