Cool Facts
Serious uphill battles. Trail runners face steep climbs and descents that can really tire out your legs, so they have to train their muscles differently than road runners do.
Special grip shoes. Trail running shoes have thick soles and extra traction to grip rocky, muddy, and uneven ground so runners don't slip and fall.
Nature's obstacle course. Unlike smooth city streets, trails have rocks, roots, and sudden drops that force runners to stay super focused and watch every step they take.
Works your whole body. Because trails are uneven and steep, trail running uses more muscles in your core, legs, and ankles than running on flat pavement.
Growing sport worldwide. Trail running has become really popular, with races and events happening on mountains and forests all over the world.
