WHAT TO BRING

Please wear appropriate clothing and shoes to participate in trail running. The clinic is hands-on, so you will be practicing the techniques discussed by running on the trails yourself.

Consider the following:

• Trail Shoes (If you don't have trail-specific shoes, any running shoes will be fine. Please avoid wearing high-stack road racing shoes, as these are unstable on uneven terrain such as trails).
• Water (with the ability to carry it around the trails with you)
• Weather-appropriate clothing (jacket, gloves, etc)
• Mobile Phone

WHAT TO EXPECT

• Detailed insights into trail running.
• Live demonstrations
