Madison Trail Runners

MTR endorsed gentle outdoor yoga at 6 pm every Monday at the corner of Morrison St and Thornton Ave, overlooking the Yahara River.

Madison Trail Runner’s talented yoga instructors @amandaleonayoga and @calliecatyoga rotate hosting.

Cost: Donation based - suggested $10-$30, but all are welcome. (Venmo: @calliendo @AmandaLeonaYoga)

Cancelations due to weather will be posted here by 4pm day of class.

Every Tuesday evening yoga & trail running at the arb!

We meet at 530pm near the UW-Arboretum Visitor Center for yoga and follow up at 620pm with a trail run through the arboretum for about an hour (usually 5.5-6.5 miles). We support most paces and leave no runner behind. Bring a mat or towel for the yoga.

Both events are free but most everyone gives our yoga instructors, Amanda or Callie, a $10-$15 donation each session. They take cash or Venmo (@AmandaLeonaYoga, @calliendo)

If we have bad weather conditions and have to cancel, we will post a message by 4:30 PM.

Thursday Arb runs happening weekly**! Meet at the Visitor Center parking lot at 5:55 am. We will run for about 60 minutes, pace based on how the crew feels and trail conditions (usually 9 -10 min/mile)! The more the merrier.

**On the fourth Thursday of each month, we meet at a traveling location instead of the Arb. Keep your eyes peeled to our Meetup page for the details!

Emma Cameron, Katia Wanish, Steve Strieker, and Dana Dobbins are hosting the fourth annual Trailfest for south-central Wisconsin on July 19th and 20th. This year we are heading to the beautiful Southern Kettles where we will traverse the Ice Age Trail from the Scuppernong Trailhead to the Rice Lake Boat Launch.

The event is a 29-mile team trek along the Ice Age Trail completed Ragnar style with groups of 3 to 6 people. You can sign up as a complete team, or as an individual and we can add you to a team. We will start the event early Saturday morning and travel with our caravans south until we all gather Saturday evening at Whitewater Beach to hang out, swim, kayak, and enjoy a communal meal.

For those interested in staying overnight we have group campsites reserved at the Hickory Woods Group Camp. Sunday morning will feature an oatmeal bar.

This year we are also introducing camping Friday night at the Pinewoods Campground in the Kettle Moraine State Forest. Enjoy an optional evening hike/run, hang out with friends around the campfire, and wake up already in the Kettles! Further details to be finalized once we have an idea of how many people are interested.

Please feel free to post any questions, send a message, or reach out to any of the organizers at November Project or Madison Trail Runner outings. We are planning to close out the registration about a week prior to the event to allow us to setup teams. So please sign up now.
