Trail Races Perfect For Beginners
These races are perfect for those who are new to the trails.
Race day often leaves runners full of nerves, so when it is a new type of race there is an added intimidation factor. If you are new to trail running, these races are the perfect choice. They offer beginner-friendly distances while still giving you out-of-this-world views and trails, to help you only fall in love with the sport even more.
