In the fall of 2022, prolific mountain racer Max King and race director and Team USA under-20 manager Paul Kirsch reached the shared conclusion that there was a lack of resources and information available for young people in the U.S. wishing to pursue trail running — particularly for aspiring young international runners. They felt that while cross country and track running had clear structures for young people to grow and be supported within the sport, the same wasn’t true of trail running.

Borne out of these conversations was a new youth trail website — YouthTrail.com — which directs to a section on the main American Trail Running Association website. The site is now fully operational and offers a wealth of resources and guidance for young and aspiring trail runners.
