Trail running is growing faster than ever — and with that momentum comes the opportunity to build the sport the right way. As other sports have learned, embracing anti-doping standards early is a sign of maturity and strength.
The topic of doping — long whispered about, rarely addressed head-on like in other sports — demands a seat at the table.
At TrailCon 2026, USADA CEO Travis Tygart — whose landmark work has reshaped how the world thinks about fair competition — joins us at Palisades Tahoe to help guide trail running through this exciting chapter.
It’s the conversation our sport is ready to have. Tygart brings his decades of anti-doping leadership to TrailCon for a conversation trail running needs to have.
