What magazines specifically cover the sport of trail running and ultramarathon events?
I found three.
Trail Runner

Format: Hard-copy and Digital (This is cool!)
Mission Statement: “Trail Runner is the only magazine dedicated to the off-road running community, encouraging runners of all ages and abilities to experience the outdoors and achieve a healthier lifestyle through off-road running. Trail Runner magazine inspires and informs with accurate, intelligent and in-depth writing and compelling photography.”

Additional Information:
- Free digital archive to check out 30 older issues – Great way to check out the magazine and learn about the sport although the race information will not be current.
