NoMa Run Club, in collaboration with Altra Running, the Running Industry Diversity Coalition, and Haraka Run and Walk, is excited to bring you this trail running experience in the heart of Rock Creek Park.

This is not a race. In fact, taking your time will probably make for a better time! This event is designed to get you acquainted with some of the many trails that are right here in DC and to introduce you to other folks in the area who are also interested in trail running.

Never been trail running before? No problem! We all start somewhere, and this could be the beginning of a whole new chapter in the story of your running career.

Runners will check in at Picnic Grove #6, receive a brief overview of the route and safety considerations for the run, split up into small groups, and begin the 3.8-mile Main Loop.

Upon returning to Picnic Grove #6, runners will have the option to complete the 1.6-mile Extra Loop or remain in Picnic Grove #6, where light refreshments will be available.

Altra will have trail running shoes available for runners to demo on a first-come, first-served basis.

Registration is required. Space is limited. See you there!
