The trails are calling, and Fleet Feet Folsom has a Trail Training Program to help you get out there! This program has everything - experienced coaches, a goal-based training schedule, and weekly runs that will introduce you to many different local trailheads. We will share information on the important components of trail running, fueling, and hydration for the demands of the trail…it is different than on the road! This program is meant for anyone from the beginning runner to the experienced runner who may just want to escape the pounding of the pavement and focus on softer terrain and beautiful scenery. 

The goal race for this program is Chanoko 31k and 5-mile Trail Run, taking place on March 13, 2021.

Keeping up the motivation: In the event this race is cancelled, we will end the program with a 31k and 5-mile training run!

• Refrain from hugs, high fives, fist bumps, etc.
• You may wear a mask before or after the workout if it makes you more comfortable, but it will not be required due to distancing outdoors
