Additional Information

TrailFam works to achieve our mission in three ways: Provide an outstanding schools trail running program Offer free weekly trail running sessions to urban communities Coach exceptional, 'un-tapped' young talent as part of our Race Team At TrailFam, we believe that every young person should have the chance to engage in trail running, regardless of their background or circumstances. Trail running provides numerous benefits for young people, including improving cardiovascular fitness, building strength and endurance and enhancing cognitive performance. Regular physical activity, such as trail running, has also been shown to reduce the risk of depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem in young people, and exposure to nature can provide an additional boost of positivity. Trail running also promotes social development and environmental awareness. Our programmes provide a supportive community where young people can build social skills, connect with like-minded individuals, and receive peer and adult support. Through our education on protecting and conserving natural spaces, as well as teaching Leave No Trace principles, young people can become advocates for the environment and develop a sense of responsibility for preserving it. Join us in our mission to make trail running accessible to all and promote healthy lifestyles, a sense of community, and positive changes in young people's lives and the world around them.
