Whether you’re an experienced trail runner, an ultrarunner, a trail newbie, a Trail Race Director, a fan of the sport, or somewhere in between, the eleventh annual US Trail Running Conference, is for you. The Conference is held in partnership with the American Trail Running Association and brought to you by Active at Altitude.

The eleventh edition of the US Trail Running Conference returns to Mukilteo, WA. Our 2022 hosts, the Snohomish County Sports Commission, did a fabulous job hosting us last year, and we look forward to working with them again and enjoying the PNW in 2023. We look forward to an exciting event in a stunning location that has a strong trail running community. The Conference takes place in the Rosehill Community Center - there is ample parking for all participants at the conference location. The Community Center is fully accessible for adaptive athletes, has an effective recycle policy, and is powered by 99% renewable energy sources. We hope that COVID will be in a different place in October 2023, and have confidence that we can host another safe Conference that is respectful to participants and organizers whatever the status is at that time.

The primary accommodation option for all attendees in 2022 was the Hilton Garden Inn at Everett - we will keep you posted on accommodation news for the 2023 event.

Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of the 2023 Conference has content geared to Trail Race Directors, including panels, round table sessions, and breakout sessions to share information and brainstorm ideas that our surveys have found are critical for all Trail Race RD’s. The event also includes a top-level expo featuring vendors that provide products or services relevant to Trail Race Directors.

You can choose to attend for the entire Conference, or you have options to include portions of the Conference to suit your schedule. We will also include fun runs on local trails in the Mukilteo area during the Conference..

The rates for Trail Race Directors include access to all workshops and sessions, networking events where featured, access to the expo, lunch on the full days, and refreshments at break times. There will also be a Conference app available. See the full schedule for Trail Race Directors here.
