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.

Registration can be done online or in person at any Whatcom Family YMCA location.
Twice per year Trail Blazers have the opportunity to train for and complete the Girls on the Run 5K. This will help runners realize their innate ability to accomplish hard things, as well as what it feels like to set and achieve a goal.
Our volunteer coaches are dynamic role models dedicated to developing lifelong runners!
