This is a trail specific running club. The goal is to help you become more confident with trail running, introduce you to great Tucson trails and prepare you to participate in the Fleet Feet Arizona Trail Race on February 2nd.
Trails are an exciting adventure and are safer and more fun with a group. We hope that this group will increase your confidence on trails and provide friendship and camaraderie. Building a community is so important for our health and well-being and what better way to achieve this than running in new and exciting places with friends.
Perhaps you have been running on the road for a long time and are ready to change things up a little. We are here ready to help you in this journey!
This is a group designed for experienced road runners new to trail running and experienced trail runners looking for structure and a group. If you are new to running in general, please check out our beginner runner training programs! Safety is our top priority, so we will expect all participants to carry water, first aid equipment, a gps enabled watch, and smart phone. In addition, participants need to be able to comfortably run and run/walk 6 miles on the road within a 1.5 hour timeframe (15min miles).

Each Saturday will be a trail run at varied locations around Tucson, giving you the opportunity to experience Tucson's beautiful trails.
