Building Something Real

For years, Tim Tollefson was in it—the racing, the rankings, the relentless pursuit of performance. He ran with the best and built a career around trying to stay there. But over time, the pull of something else got louder.

This short film, directed by Billy Yang, captures the shift. It’s not dramatic. Just honest. A portrait of an athlete stepping into a new chapter—one rooted in place, people, and a different kind of purpose.

Trailfest isn’t a fallback. It’s a homecoming.
