Welcome to 2025, trail fam! We’re kicking off the year with a bang, diving into predictions, hot takes, and all the behind-the-scenes moves shaking up the sport. Dani and Emkay catch up on what they have been up to, what race Emkay is lining up for soon.

We then chat current news with big sponsorship shakeups and highlight Stian Angermund’s most recent post about his return to the sport.

Next, we break down our boldest predictions for 2025. Will Broken Arrow see record-breaking performances across its distances? Will World Champs attract the world’s best, or will competition take a surprising turn? And the biggest call of all—could the Women’s Sierre Zinal record finally fall this year?

Finally, we share our wishlist for the sport. We are thinking some of you may agree with some of these.

After listening let us know what’s your boldest hot take for 2025? We want to hear from you! Drop us a DM or comment on our latest post.

Rachel Drake is a professional runner for Nike based in Portland, Oregon. She just finished her season with a win and course record at the 2024 JFK 50 Miler. We did this episode with Rachel last year after her 2023 season.

Rachel is a mom, medical student (now doctor) and one of the best trail runners in the US. Rachel spent this year coming back from the recent birth of her son, Lewis. After an injury sidelined her, she eventually came back to finish 6th at OCC. Dani and EmKay chat with Rachel about her background, her pregnancy and everything since then.
