EXPLORING THE TRAILS WITH FRIENDS

About The Trail Blazers Program

The Trail Blazers program encourages youth to use trail running as a fun way to stay fit for life. We foster lifelong connections to nature and community through running, outdoor exploration and community service. 

Each seven week session focuses on building endurance and improving physical health. Boys and girls are encouraged to move at their own pace while challenging themselves to improve throughout the session. Service projects are completed to expand participant’s awareness of ways they can make a difference in their community.
