**New Program this year!**

It's gritty. You will get dirty and maybe muddy.... oh, and it's hilly.  You'll get in those "bonus miles". And, it's AWESOME!  We are offering for the first time in January a 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 8 week program will target the Folsom Lake South Side Trail Run on March 14th, 2020.  This race takes place in Folsom,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:  Tuesday January 21st, 2020 at 6:15pm 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 expected to be very popular program and that space is limited to 30 people, so register early!!

Your coach is: 

                                    Jason Orgain 

Program Details:

Join our program and receive:

• Twice-weekly coached group runs
• A daily training plan for the 8 weeks of the program
• workshops on topics unique to trail running
• Field trips to North State trails
• Friendship and camaraderie with fellow runners

Our supportive coaching team will provide you with the tools and training to be successful.  The team atmosphere is always positive and you will meet others who love running trail running as much as you do.  Whichever track you choose, get ready to meet some wonderful coaches, amazing mentors, and lots of other trail running fanatics!

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 (headlamps). 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 Folsom Lake South Side Trail Run on March 14th, 2020 in Folsom, 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
