Trail TMZ is back.
Host and award-winning correspondent Allison Mercer dive into one of the strangest weeks of trail running that we have seen in a while. From the Satisfy and Adidas backlash and influencer culture debates, to doping discussions around Cam Hanes, Sage Canaday and clean sport, plus the growing role of social media in shaping running culture.
We also talk FKTs, Will Peterson's Appalachian Trail attempt, upcoming Pacific Crest Trail action, why controversy dominates attention online, and whether running is losing the things that made it special in the first place.
Topics:
• Satisfy backlash and brand culture
• Influencer running and authenticity
• Cam Hanes, Sage Canaday, and doping conversations
• Why negativity dominates social media
• FKT updates and upcoming attempts
