2018 US Trail Running Conference

Love trail running? We do too!
August 29-31, 2018 - San Luis Obispo, CA

Whether you’re an experienced trail runner, an ultra-marathoner, a trail newbie, a Trail Race Director, or somewhere in between, the sixth annual US Trail Running Conference, presented by San Luis Obispo and Race Roster, is for you. The Conference is held in partnership with the American Trail Running Association, and hosted by #RaceSLO

Wednesday afternoon, all day Thursday, and Friday morning of the 2018 Conference is focused on Trail Race Directors, including speaker 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 produce products or services applicable to Trail race Directors. You can choose to attend for all the days, or you have options to include portions of the Conference to suit your schedule. You also have the option to include the trail runner afternoon as well. Why not extend your stay in San Luis Obispo and take in one of the SLO Ultra races on Saturday September 1! You can save 25% off any SLO Ultra race entry when you register for any of the Conference registration options. See the race entry options in the swag list when you register for the Conference!
