  • Western Slope Trails (map)

Join us for weekly group runs with local coaches and guides where we will explore new places, meet new running buddies and support and encourage each other. Options available for runners of all levels looking to train for a race or just benefit from coached/structured runs.

How does the group work?

You can choose to participate in a 10-12 week program to train for specific trail races OR pay a drop-in monthly rate.

The program offers options for every schedule with early morning, after-work, weekend, and happy hour runs!

After registering, you have access to our Google calendar with full details for 3+ options each week for all levels!
