All races are designed to be fun, scenic and rewarding for all runners with a friendly event atmosphere that is truly welcoming of everyone.

It’s time to reconnect with the wilderness and the trail running community by being part of the 2021 Trail Running Series. SEE YOU THERE!

Last year was my first year trail running and first time at the series and I loved it. I couldn’t wait to run again this year and experience more trails, more cheers, more spills and more thrills. Loved it!

Mary – Series runner

Honestly the most fun and friendliest events I’ve ever participated in. Such a great size and awesome vibe along the trails.

Michael – race 2 and 3 runner

The Trail Running Series kept me motivated to run during the cold winter months. Each event offered an excuse to escape the city and to spend some mindful, quality time outdoors in the fresh air and nature. After each trail run I felt invigorated and inspired. Bring on 2020 (and 2021)!
