Getting Dirty Is Just One of the Perks!
Join Trail Heads to conquer the trails in the foothills of Gold Country. Experience stunning scenery and discover new trails to visit for years to come. Trail Heads is coached by legendary trail and ultrarunner Mo Bartley and her team of seasoned local trail runners.
Trail Heads is the official training program of the Fleet Feet Sacramento Trail Series. Take your running off-road with a trio of trail races that promise to deliver breath-taking wilderness locations within a 1-hour drive of Sacramento. The series kicks off with The Dirty Secret Trail Run in May, followed by the Blood, Sweat and Beers Trail Run in July and wraps up with Granite Head Trails & Ales in October. Each of the three races in the series offers a Short Course and Long Course distance to choose from. Participants who sign up for all three events in the series will receive a special commemorative Trail Series beanie at the end of the series.
