Trail Running
Trail running is a fun way to challenge yourself outdoors. Interestingly, trail running is a great way to prevent over-use injuries while running because each step is different and works different muscles and skills compared to the identical steps of running on paved trails/roads. There are still risks of injury, of course, which is why it is helpful to learn the skills of trail running and practice them regularly to keep them in tip top shape.
​
If you are interested in pushing your limits, seeing more trail in less time, or just working up a sweat in a beautiful location, join us for a trail run!
Trail Runs with GeesE can range from a mile to several miles. We typically keep our weekly runs to an hour or less.
Beginner Trail Runs will be shorter runs focusing on one or two trail running techniques at a time. This is a great place to start.
Intermediate Trail Runs can either be longer distances on easy terrain, or shorter distances on more technical terrain. It is encouraged that you are hiking intermediate or advanced trails somewhat regularly and can run at least a mile on flat ground to feel successful on these runs.
Specialty Hikes
Below are hikes that only happen occasionally. They are for specific dates or occasions and can usually only be signed up for once. Check out the dates and locations to see what fits into your schedule and make sure to check back regularly as we will change and add to these regularly!​
​
The price of these hikes varies by what is included. Pricing will be listed with each individual hike as well as members' discounted rates. Pre-registration is required to join as space is limited for each hike.
