Registration Deadline passed.
2024 Spring Trail Training

This 12-week training program is for the beginning trail runner; designed to introduce you to running on trails, while also learning the fun in getting dirty.  Group runs are held on Wednesdays at 6 p.m. and Saturdays at 7 a.m.  Saturday runs will be held at local trails determined by Coach Paul.  Areas that you'll be running on include the Yockanookany trail off the Trace, Lefleur's Bluff, and Butt's Park.  Each participant will receive a training plan to guide them through the 12-week program.  The first group run will be held Wednesday, January 10th.

While the training group and goal race are designed for beginning trail runners, they should have some running or hiking background before joining.

Every other Wednesday, prior to the group run, we will have a mini-clinic covering aspects of trail running.  Topics to include: trail etiquette and safety, nutrition and hydration, pacing (run/walk), trail shoes, injuries and prevention.

You will be coached by veteran trail runner Paul Van Hooydonk.   He is in his 8th year as the Fleet Feet Trail Coach and does a great job of educating, preparing, and encouraging runners!  The full program will prepare you for the goal race, Kick Up the Dust, on March 30th at Choctaw Trails in Jackson.  A selection of distances will be available to choose from including a 4K, 8K, and 14K.  Registrants for the trail training program will receive a promo code for a discount off the goal race registration!
