This episode is part of Freetrail's annual Trail Runner of the Year Rollout -- an opportunity to reflect on the 2025 season and celebrate the athletes who performed the best according to the global trail running community. We're proud to partner with All Conditions Gear to bring the awards to life.

Today we welcome the #4 Trail Runners of the Year, Abby Hall and Elhousine Elazzaoui.

Elhousine, our reigning 2024 Trail Runner of the Year, posted another amazing season, winning the Golden Trail World Series for the second year in a row, including victories at Zegama, Broken Arrow, Tepec Trail, and Golden Trail Final.

Abby's major highlight was winning one of our sport's most significant events, the Western States 100. She also posted top-5 finishes in two Golden Ticket events, and finished the year with an overall win and CR at McDowell Mountain Frenzy.

Note: Elhousine joined us from the Sahara desert without great wifi connection. We've cleaned it up as best as we could.
