There may be nothing better than the joy of running free on an open nature trail. Opportunities abound in the East Bay, and we will take you there. Learn the ins and outs of trail running from our seasoned, expert coach and trail guide mentors. Each Sunday morning you will discover and explore new trails that will delight and challenge.

This nine-week program is suitable for experienced, conditioned runners. Prior trail running experience is not required. However, at minimum, participants should be able to run 3 or more miles continuously to start the program.

Our goal race is Brazen Racing's Auburn Half Marathon on September 27. This historic Gold Country destination is known as the Endurance Capital of the World, due to its abundance of scenic trails.
