Welcome to Durham Trail Runners

The weather in this session will be changing with the seasons.  In the beginning we will have the heat to contend with as fall arrives we will transitions to some warmer layers and need a headlamp on Tuesday evenings, since the sun will begin to set as we start our run.  You may need to dress accordingly with sweat wicking layers to keep warm and dry when the weather begins to cool.  It  is important to carry water and fuel/snack with you when we are in the trails.  Even with the challenges the solitude and friendships are amazing!   

We will run twice a week as a group to maintain our frequency and it's recommended that you complete at least one other run during the week.  An adaptable training plan will be emailed at the start of the session.  Relevant content will be delivered via pre recoded sessions, articles, links and virtual Zoom chats/interviews on some Thursday evenings @ 7PM or on Saturday's after our run. You will need to download What's App to have access to communications, content and participate in group discussions.  Our What's App group is our private group and is there to support you.

There are two options during this session...Return to Run 7K or a 14K is for runners who are currently running 5K distance and are looking for a group to run with while increasing distance.  During this session we will be training from 4-14K working at our own pace.  We have a goal race , Durham's Backyard Trail Race and Ultra...Registration link is posted above! this is a fun, local, family friendly event being hosted @ Long Sault Conservation Area, north Bowmanville, ON.

All paces are welcome!  Our pacers are amazing at what they do!  You are not too slow and will not be left alone on the trail.  Our experienced pacers are there to guide your run and are a wealth of run information.

Let us know your run goals!   We have pacers who love to pace all distancess and with increased interest we can plan a smaller group session to help you meet your goals.

Please email/text/DM/call with any questions.

Can't wait for you to join us....Happy Trails!
