Trail running gives you that sense of adventure and freedom that you don’t get on a treadmill. There is something different about being outdoors with nature and breathing in the fresh air that makes people feel better, relieves stress and increases sense of vitality. Come explore the beautiful trails behind the Sacopee Valley schools. Experience the epic views of the Ossipee River and forest; capture the sounds and sights of nature.This course is for beginners and moderate runners. If you’ve never run a trail in your life, great! If you are an experienced hiker and have trifled a bit with trail running but want more, perfect! Coach Ridley will get you started on warm ups, dynamic stretching, and form drills while listening to music in the gym. Then you’ll head outside for an enjoyable, gentle jog. Class will end with a cool down period and static stretches to keep those muscles strong and flexible. Please preregister as we need a minimum of 5 people to run the course.
