Beginner clinics

Two hours from trail-curious to trail runner.

Groups of 8 to 12 beginners with a guide who keeps it fun, safe and unhurried. Nobody gets left behind, and walking is part of trail running.

How a clinic runs

  1. 15 min

    Gear & safety check

    Shoes, water, sun, what's in your pocket and how to read trail signs.

  2. 20 min

    Footing drills

    Quick feet, eyes ahead, landing on rocks and roots, relaxed arms for balance.

  3. 60 min

    Coached run-walk

    3-5 miles at a conversational pace, with uphill and downhill technique on the way.

  4. 15 min

    Etiquette & next steps

    Passing, yielding, closures after rain, and a plan for your next four weeks.

Every clinic includes

  • Small group (max 12) and an experienced guide
  • The First Trail Plan ($19 value), unlocked at booking
  • Route and parking notes 48 hours before
  • Weather guarantee: rescheduled or refunded

Who it's for

Adults who can run or run-walk about 3 miles on the road and want to try trails safely. Not a race, not a boot camp.
