Trail Run Club next run

Next Club Group Run is at Warren Wilson this Saturday, Aug 17 at 10 am. Directions are below. 

The Trail Running Club is aimed primarily at beginner trail runners, but is open to runners of all abilities. Our goal is to introduce runners who are used to pounding the pavement or treadmill to the wide open world of running the the wilderness. We have the good fortune of living in one of the most desirable spots in the world for outdoor sports and this is your chance to experience our area like never before. You'll go places that are unique and beautiful, and hone your fitness and skills as a runner while you're at it. And we'll take advantage of the motivational power of a community as we chat online, meet up for group runs and go to races together!

What's included: A handheld water bottle, a short sleeve tech shirt (note: yearly members will also receive a long sleeve tech shirt), and great snacks for during and after training runs 1x per month group runs led by our own Michael Scholtz who is a certified coach and experienced trail runner. Weekly workouts posted on the private Facebook page; updates and pictures from training runs and races on TP website. Free entry into any 2 cross-country series events.

We'll meet in the gravel parking area on the left just past the bridge over the Swannanoa River on Warren Wilson Rd.
