Every run is a trail party! Our squatchtastic podcast celebrates our amazing trail running community. And of course, answers deep questions like "Does Sasquatch eat Taylor Ham or Pork Roll?" "Do Unicorns prefer scrunchies or hair ties?" "What kind of bear is best?" We host trail races all around New Jersey and welcome runners of all paces and ages from around the country to our community. https://www.sassquadtrailrunning.com https://www.facebook.com/sassquadtrailrunning https://www.instagram.com/sassquadtrailrunners
