The scholarship recipients not only participated in the Conference but also actively engaged with the cutting-edge content and unique networking opportunities, forging valuable connections that will undoubtedly benefit their own events and the broader trail running community. We are grateful to ATRA for their support and look forward to working with these passionate race directors and event organizers who are committed to shaping the future of trail running.”
