Interested in learning more? Check out our FAQ below to see how this club could be a fit for you!

  • Social runners and Serious runners welcome!

    Social runner=

    Newer or just getting back to running runners working up to a 10k distance OR runners who just want to focus on wellness and maintaining a running routine/habit with the support of the group.

    Serious runner=

    Women who have been running regularly but seeking more structured training under the guidance of a professional coach who may be interested in training for a race with the group.

  • Description text goes here

  • You need to be able to complete a 5k on the trail without stopping. There are no pace requirements*, and the group will stay together throughout the run. Many runs also have a Trailblazer volunteer who runs at the back to make sure no one is left behind.

    *Power hiking is an important part of trail running!

    If you’re new to running, check out our Couch to 5k program. If you can run a 5k already, consider our beginner trail program.

  • We have recently combined our clubs under one Adventure Membership umbrella! This means you have access to all of our other clubs in addition to the Trail Running club!

    Our new adventure training hub gives you access to an enormous database of training resources including training plans, workouts, nutrition and injury prevention guides, plus live zoom clinics, workouts AND attend unlimited live strength and conditioning workouts (like our Red Rocks stair sessions), MTB skills clinics and so much more! With your Adventure Club Membership you save 15% on training hub fees. View full details here.

  • Runs will take place along the C-470 corridor between Castle Rock and Boulder and into the foothills for longer adventures. Some social runs and track workouts will be closer to Denver.
