First 90 secondsDylan Bowman· Host0:00
[upbeat music] Hello, everybody. Welcome to Free Trails Trail Gating coverage of the 2026 Canyons Endurance Runs, presented by Hoka. My name is Dylan Bowman. Joined in studio in the endurance capital of the world, Auburn, California, Corinne Malcolm in the house. Corinne, good to see you.
Corrine Malcolm· Host0:29
Howdy, howdy. So excited to be here.
Dylan Bowman· Host0:31
Yeah, we had a couple weeks break after Gorge Waterfalls, and we're back at it for another multi-distance, super high-stakes race here this weekend. Are you feeling rested and primed for the action ahead?
Corrine Malcolm· Host0:44
I feel like I'm still catching up on sleep from Gorge weekend- Mm ... a little bit, but I am rested, and I am excited. And, I mean, I mostly just get to do this and run around and cheer for people all weekend, and that is very, I don't know, rejuvenating.
Dylan Bowman· Host0:58
Yeah.
Corrine Malcolm· Host0:58
Fills the spirit sponge.
Dylan Bowman· Host0:59
Yeah. So this is the 100K preview show. We'll go through the whole runner show for the weekend here in a second. Also want to give a shout-out to our guys, Ryan Thrower, Brett Jorgenson behind the scenes. Big round of applause. Yes.
Corrine Malcolm· Host1:12
Whoo.
Dylan Bowman· Host1:13
[laughs] Thanks to the guys for working super hard and also bouncing back from Gorge Waterfalls. And before we get to the runner show, something that's just top of mind for me, because I just pulled into town here, like, an hour ago, I freaking love Auburn, Corinne. I love it here so much.
