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.

From the West Bragg Creek Recreation Area parking lot, we follow the Telephone Trail loop counterclockwise.

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
HEADLAMP or small FLASHLIGHT
Personal first aid kit
Water
Rain gear and extra running clothing, depending on the weather forecast
