It's gritty. You will get dirty.. It's hilly.  You'll get in those "bonus miles". And, it's AWESOME.  We are offering one standard track for this 10K  trail program group.  This is a unique training program specifically designed for trail runners; people who don't shy away from getting their running shoes dirty, enjoy the challenge of running the hills, who hanker for a glimpse of a coyote or an eagle, and who look forward to spectacular views you only find on trails around the area.  We will be taking the team on fun and challenging trails around the North State.  This 19 week program will target the Diablo Summit Stomp on November 2nd, 2019.  This race takes place in Walnut Creek, CA so plan on getting a hotel or AirBNB asap. We'll start at 3 miles and work our way up to 7 or 8 miles.

Program Kickoff and Fun Run:  Saturday August 31st, 2019 at 7:30am at Fleet Feet Sports.  Meet your coach Jason Orgain, get information about the program, and get geared up with the latest trail running gear to start your training. We will be going on your first workout run, so come prepared to run.  Bring a friend!  Please note that this is a very popular program and that space is limited to 40 people, so register early!!

Your coach is: 

                                    Jason Orgain

Meeting times:  Weekly coached workouts will be on Tuesdays at 6:15 PM and Saturdays at 7:30 AM.  Be prepared for a couple of out town Saturday runs. The first official workout will also be your program kickoff, so come prepared to run!. Meeting locations will be scheduled by your coaches, so wait for a weekly email from them.

Requirements:  This program is for experienced runners.  Team members must start the program injury free, wear and carry appropriate trail running clothing, shoes, and gear. To join this 10K team, you must  have completed a recent 10K race, because we will build to about 7 miles! Trail is very different and a lot more technical than "road running". This ensures the coaches can keep the group together and safe.  We encourage team members to carpool to destination group runs.  All participants must be at least 18 years of age.

*No children and pet are allowed to the group workouts

Goal Races:  We will be targeting the Diablo Summit Stomp in Walnut Creek, CA.  I recommend finding lodging in the area as soon as you register for the race! If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Shawna at shawna@fleetfeetchico.com
