The Freetrail Podcast with Dylan Bowman

Welcome to Freetrail's Trailgating coverage of the 2026 Golden Trail World Series Final from Muju Trail in South Korea. This is the post-race interview with Madalina Florea, the Golden Trail World Series overall champion! Thanks to Salomon for supporting our coverage!

Since the early 2000s, Salomon's running products and international athletes have contributed to the international growth of trail running – now a world-renowned sport and drawing thousands of runners to each race. The circuit was launched in 2018 and Salomon brought the GTWS to live television for the first time ever in 2023 with Eurosport, which was a milestone for the sport.

The Golden Trail World Series (GTWS) circuit is the leading short distance trail running circuit, broadcast to a growing audience of sports fans globally. The GTWS is a highly entertaining, TV-ready format with races lasting around 2 hours, featuring steep climbs and technical descents as well as a "flower" format that allows spectators to see more of the race and better engage with the athletes. This circuit and the athletes running it show the growth potential of the sporting format for the Golden Trail World Series, which is recognized as the flagship event on the global trail running calendar.

Canyon Woodward is pro trail runner for Patagonia from Franklin, NC. Canyon has proven himself to be among the most consistent long-course athletes in America, finishing top five at three golden ticket races in a six-month timespan: Javelina Jundred (3rd), Black Canyon 100k (4th), and Canyons 100k (5th). Carrying a lot of fitness and competitive momentum, Canyon will be a factor at Western States later this month -- a goal he's been chasing for several years.

But Canyon is much more than just a talented runner. He's made his career working in politics and community organizing where he's fought for his values in the public domain – things like rural communities, environmentalism, and conservation, which we discuss at length in the episode.

Also part of our conversation is Canyon's recently signing with Patagonia – the iconic outdoor brand that takes a leadership role in the industry and globally around the things that Canyon cares about – the collision of his running career and his career as an environmentalist and activist coming together is an exciting new partnership. This is his first appearance on the podcast.

Topics:

– Canyon's fascinating childhood and ppbringing

– His education and discovering his knack for community organizing

– Getting into politics and running a 100% positive campaign

– the political power of rural communities

– Of course we explore the origins of his running prowess

– the value of learning by doing

– Consistency and Success in Racing

– Navigating Sponsorships and The new Partnership with Patagonia

– Preparing for Western States

– The Pacer Debate in Ultra Running

– Goals for Western States

– And a lot more

Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front -- The poem recited at the end of the episode

Emelie Forsberg is one of the great trail runners of the last two decades. In the early 2010s, Emelie was a dominant force on the racing circuit, accumulating wins and podium performances at some of the sport's most important races. Emelie was part of the early Salomon trail running team that, in many ways, ushered in the modern era of the sport and she became one of the most impactful athletes during that time.

While she's remained around the community all along, Emelie de-prioritized running for several years to focus on starting and building a family. Now a mother of three, Emelie is ready to re-prioritize racing again, starting at Transvulcania a few weeks ago where she finished on the podium with a very strong third-place performance.

Emelie has also been a key contributor to two ambitious startups in the sport, Moon Valley Nutrition and NNormal. This is her first appearance on the podcast.

The UTMB Index and race scores have become increasingly significant in the global trail running ecosystem. The Index upstream of sponsorship and race entry opportunities for pros, it allows fans to gauge who is performing best on the world's stage, and it helps media members contextualize performances across years, distances, and different course terrains.

Today the UTMB Index is evolving in some subtle yet important ways. Joining me to talk all about it are Adrian Vincentand Karen Merlin — two members of the team who worked on this new system and are well qualified to explain how things are changing and what it means for the sport.
