Races We Love
Our runners train for a wide variety of races, ranging from local trail 5Ks to 100-milers across California and beyond. While we choose a featured race each season to offer a shared focus for those who want it, our training structure is designed to be flexible. We provide workouts that allow runners to pick and choose what best fits their individual race schedules, experience levels, and goals.
Why We Choose a Featured Race Each Season
Having a featured race gives our group a sense of shared momentum and community. While participation is never required, it creates opportunities for runners to train together with a common milestone in mind, support one another on race day, and celebrate each other’s successes. It also helps newer runners see a clear path toward their first trail race or their next big challenge. Whether or not you choose the featured race, you’re part of the team, and we’re here to cheer you on.
