Metropolitan Trail Racing

The Team

Miler Running is the race apparel sponsor of Metropolitan Trail Racing, a New York City-based team unlocking the potential of the city as a training hub for developing elite trail running athletes.

Manifesto

The team trains in the city and tri-state area and competes in domestic and international short distance and ultra running races. To offset the limitations of urban running, the team uses cross training, simulation training and special physical preparation (SPP), along with public transit and coordinated team travel for field training, while utilizing the vast resources and connections of New York City, such as corporate partnerships and community engagement.

Follow

The team will debut at the Grindstone by UTMB race on September 19, 2026. The 2027 racing calendar will be announced in late 2026.

Logo

Designed by Ben Puffer, the team logo references the iconography of the urban transit authorities used by the team to access trails outside the city and the grid system that defines running inside the city.
