The first U.S. touring trail-running film festival, and the only known 3-day film festival dedicated solely to trail running -
THE HISTORY OF THE FIRST TRAIL RUNNING FILM FESTIVAL
There are a lot of talented filmmakers in this close-knit and extended trail community, and we wanted to create a way to showcase everything we love so much about trail running, while simultaneously highlighting local, regional, national, and international filmmakers. Thus, in early 2013,The Trail Running Film Fest was born!
Our very first festival was in March of 2013 alongside Rainshadow Running's Gorge Waterfalls trail races, and it sold out in a matter of hours. That weekend-long festival was so popular we were asked by numerous trail runners from all over North America to take the festival on tour to their communities. In March of 2014, we did just that! After a very successful 12-city tour debut in the Northwest, we took our beloved Film Fest on the road for an amazing 31-city nationwide tour in the fall of 2014.
Since then the festival has just grown more and more with bigger crowds and shows in many new cities.
Almost daily we get requests to bring our carefully curated selection of the best trail-running movies out there to cities all over the world, so stay tuned - we might be coming to your city very soon.
