Probably because it's more interesting and challenging and prettier and less monotonous.

A trail is always going to be more interesting than pavement. Unless the pavement is a paved trail somewhere interesting

There are a lot of boring trails and I've had some very interesting runs on the road.

Trail running just seems like you're trying to injure yourself

As opposed to pounding the pavement on concrete and asphalt?

agreed. That's why I don't go to Yellowstone. I can hike in Sandy Utah why go to Yellowstone? Hiking is hiking.

What if you only have an hour and the trail is 15 minutes away?

They are very tight knit groups and demand a fair amount of time.

Had no idea this was a thing

I have done a little. It is, IMO, very different from street running.

Trail Runner and Aspiring Instagram Influencer are two titles that go hand in

Efficient and fun way to do cardio. Listen to books/podcasts.

I don’t but I like to hike. I hate it when runners don’t know trail etiquette.

I trail run all the time, always alone though, running in groups is weird.

Good luck, it puts strain on marriage like heck.

pegushin

Just the amount of time or what?

Odysseus

Time, money, the obsession. It really really is a drain on the family

Are you in Utah? I know the scene somewhat, but dont think it's that bad.

Yes, it has some bad parts. More than I would have thought
