Description: This is a trail-specific running club. The goal is to help you become more confident with trail running, and introduce you to great Tucson trails. Trails are an exciting adventure and are safer and more fun with a group. We hope this group will increase your confidence on trails and provide friendship and camaraderie. Building a community is so important for our health and well-being, and what better way to achieve this than running in new and exciting places with friends. Perhaps you have been running on the road for a long time and are ready to change things up a little. We are here ready to help you in this journey! This is a group designed for experienced road runners new to trail running and experienced trail runners looking for structure and a group. If you are new to running in general, please check out our beginner runner training programs! Safety is our top priority, so we expect all participants to carry water, first aid equipment, a GPS-enabled watch, and smartphone. Registration for our Winter 2026 Trail Run Club is now open! Training begins on Saturday, January 3rd 2026. Mark your calendars for Gear Up Night on Thursday, January 15th at the Tanque Verde Fleet Feet location. You will be able to shop and get advice on all the gear you will need for a successful season.
