The Active Joe - MEDIA

Press and media highlights featuring our work to expand access to trail running.

At The Active Joe, we believe trail running is for everyone. Since our first race in 2011, founder Libby Jones and our athletes have worked to build a culture of community, inclusivity, and belonging on and off the trails.

We’re grateful to the journalists, podcasters, and storytellers who have helped share that vision with the world. Explore the features, interviews, and articles below to discover how The Active Joe is making trail racing more inclusive and welcoming for all.
