Description:
Trail running is running / jogging / fast walking on hiking trails. Compared to road running, the terrain is softer but less even, more scenic, less busy, and often but not always hillier. Because of the uneven and hillier terrain, the pace is typically slower than road running, e.g. 5-6 km/hr (10-12 min/km) uphill and 10-12 km/hr (5-6 min/km) on the flats and downhill.

This week’s run is on the Sandy McNabb cross-country ski trails. The views should be great, so remember to bring a small camera if you have one!

Required Items to Bring:
Change of clothes and shoes for after the run, towel, and plastic bag to put your running shoes and clothes in after the run
