US Trail Running Conference

The US Trail Running Conference is the premier gathering for the trail and ultrarunning community – a place where race directors, brands, athletes, media, and outdoor industry leaders come together to connect, learn, and shape the future of the sport.

Founded by Terry Chiplin and long recognized as a hub for education and collaboration within trail running, the conference enters an exciting new chapter under UltraSignup’s stewardship. Our goal is to honor the incredible foundation Terry built while expanding the event’s reach, elevating the experience, and helping grow the trail running ecosystem for years to come.

In 2026, we are excited to bring the conference to Nashville, Tennessee – a vibrant city that perfectly blends creativity, community, and outdoor spirit.
