TRAIL DEMO 
Altra Experience Wild 3 Demo

Join Fleet Feet Chico as we host Altra for an awesome morning of trails and demos. 

When: June 26th, 2026
Time: 8:00am
Where: Horseshoe Lake Parking Lot

It’s about to get wild. With a shoe that’s got Vibram® grip and a lightweight feel, get ready to achieve trail running euphoria. We took the beloved Experience Wild 3 and added a Vibram® Megagrip outsole with Traction Lug and an integrated toe bumper, designed for increased grip on all terrain. With the new Altra EGO™ P35 midsole foam, it’s a shoe made for a light & efficient ride. It’s got a redesigned heel collar and updated fit construction for a more comfortable, secure feel. With the Altra Fit, you get room for your toes and a secure midfoot for natural movement. A low 4mm drop with rocker shape geometry helps promote natural body alignment and an efficient toe-off. Easily attach a Trail Gaiter, made to help keep your feet clean from debris, with an integrated GaiterTrap™ detail. Responsive. Effortless. And seriously grippy. It’s no wonder the Experience Wild 3+ is ideal for a trip in the woods.

We will also be joined by our trail sponsor BFit, bringing refreshments and strength training knowledge for all runners! Make sure you hit up Sara and Clayton for all your strength training questions!

Come ready for a good time! Bring the crew as we have an added fun activity for the mornings adventure!
