Do You Need Trail Running Poles?

Trail running poles are particularly beneficial on long climbs, technical descents, and multi-day events where fatigue management is critical. They distribute effort across the upper body, reduce load on the legs, and improve stability on uneven terrain. Many trail runners find poles transformative on events over 50km or races with significant elevation gain.
