MATT SMITH
Owner of The Yellowpost • Founder, Moonridge Run Club
Matt Smith is one of Big Bear's most passionate advocates for trail running, mountain adventure, and building community through movement. As the founder of the Moonridge Run Club and BBURRO Trail Running Community, Matt has helped create welcoming spaces where runners of all abilities—from first-timers to experienced ultra athletes—can explore Big Bear's incredible trail system together.
Known for his "no runner left behind" philosophy, Matt's group runs emphasize community, encouragement, and enjoying the mountains as much as the miles. Whether leading a casual social run through Moonridge or tackling a challenging high-altitude trail adventure, Matt is dedicated to helping people build confidence, discover new trails, and connect with others who share a love for the outdoors.
Through his leadership, participants experience more than just a run—they become part of a supportive mountain community built around adventure, wellness, and a shared appreciation for Big Bear's spectacular backyard.
