A well tuned training program that has taken a large group to wonderful Palo Duro Canyon the last couple of years. I expect this year to be another big fun trip. This very successful class is about to terminate on Oct 17. It was a big hit, so I suspect we will run it again next year.

While we offer excellent traditional group training programs, we realize that these programs do not fit everybody. This personalized program works well for those who do not live in the Austin area or cannot attend the scheduled times. We can provide the same training and quality workouts remotely to help you achieve the training and results desired. We can focus on general trail running skills, train you for a specific race or distance, or just provide a framework for some fun. Hardrock, Badwater, Leadville or any other odd extreme? Give us a call to discuss how this works.

We realize when creating these Trail Run Training programs that we are guessing what would have the most draw from YOU. We want to provide classes that best suits what you want to do. We looked at a lot of races for the possibility that each offered, looking for events that offered a widest variety to accommodate the widest audience. Some of you want 100mile or 100km races, some want 50mi or 50km, and some want marathon or 20km. We know that what we selected does not fit everybody, but we hope that you can join our group knowing that we can work with you to make one of these groups fit just about any possibility. You can train for one race or use us to skip from one trail race to the next. Please do not feel limited to just these. If something else entirely strikes your fancy, let us know and we will do our best to incorporate it into the mix. Keep in mind, you do not need to be training for any of these races. If you simply wish to get on the trails and work on endurance, speed or hills... this is the place. Understand, we are ONLY doing trail races.
