American River 25 Miler & 10 Miler

The trails are calling, and Fleet Feet Folsom Roseville 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 in a safe group setting. We will share information on the important components of trail running, fueling, and hydration for the demands of the trail…it’s 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 training will prepare you for the AR25 or AR10 race at the end of the training session.

Weekly Workouts

• January 8th to March 29th (Kickoff meeting Jan. 5th at 6pm, Fleet Feet Folsom)
• Wednesdays @ 6pm
• Sundays @ 7:30am
• Various locations around Folsom, Granite Bay and Auburn**

**Parking at our Sunday and some Wednesday run locations are at State Parks and are paid parking areas. You can purchase a day pass (cash) or purchase a Poppy Pass which we highly recommend for the convenience and for your future trail exploration. Finding a friend to carpool with is more fun and economical.  

Education

Coaches and special guests will educate you in person and in the weekly emails on topics such as trail safety, mobility, nutrition/hydration, how to prepare for race day, injury prevention, and more. They are also a resource and support for you along the way.

Group Training Atmosphere

Enjoy the safety, accountability, information, and motivation that come from a coached group workout environment. We also have a private group Facebook page for you to share, communicate, and get motivation from your fellow training members.

Training Schedule

The training is designed to increase week to week so you build slowly, steadily, and consistently towards your goals. The Wednesday workouts consist of intensity such as intervals, hills, and tempo to improve your fitness. The Saturday workouts are endurance, building towards the goal race distance. Your training schedule will include workouts for you to do on your own throughout the week which will help you see more progress. If you can’t make a workout, you will have the schedule to continue to follow the plan.

Goal Race

We will prepare you for the American River 25 Mile or 10 Mile Endurance Run on April 1st, 2023.
