The clearer your profile is the better your chances of being selected as a Trailhero!

We are looking for inspiring, charismatic, and motivated trail runners with an active mindset who want to make an impact within their local community. A Trailhero is expected to be present at important brand-related events, initiate independent projects, and proactively and regularly share their experiences with their community on social media. Loyalty to the brand and professionalism are important to us.
How long is one part of the team?
From the time of selection, so from Mid of March 2026 until the end of the year. After this period, any Trailhero can reapply to possibly continue the partnership for another year.
Can a Trailhero wear products from third parties?
As a DYNAFIT Trailhero, you represent our brand and receive a complete outfit from head to toe. Therefore, we expect you not to wear products from direct competitors at public appearances. This especially applies to clothing, shoes, and equipment.
