Do you want to explore San Francisco by foot? Tired of your usual routes, but want to stay in the city? Do you sometimes think "there have to be some great places to run in this city"? Well, you're right, there are, and we're going to run them. This group is for those who love to run, and also would like to explore SF and learn some new go-to routes.

Runs will be scheduled frequently, and will always leave from, and stay within, the city limits.  Other than those restrictions, we'll be free to go where we please, and I will look to members to help guide the group.  I have a very good runner's knowledge of San Francisco that I would like to share, but I also know that there are lots of routes I don't know, and I want to learn as well!

Runs will vary in length and intensity, so that all can be welcome.  I will usually try to schedule at least one "beginner run" a week that will be generally 2-3 miles in length at an easy pace.  I'll also schedule at least one "advanced run" that will be 5-6 miles or more at a more advanced pace.

The point of this group is to run, yes, but more so to meet new people and most importantly, learn new routes.  We may run the Great Highway, or around Lake Merced, or in the Marina, or down the Embarcadero.  We may do some lesser-known routes like Glen Canyon or the Panhandle.  Most of our runs will try to stay on trails (thus the name) but this is a city and, although we are uniquely blessed with trails, there's time we will have to use roads.

Let's get out there and run!
