About us
The Dusty Sole Trail Society is a laid-back group for anyone who enjoys running off the pavement. We explore local trails together, whether you're just starting out or have been running ultras for years. No one gets left behind, and we're just as happy to walk the hills and enjoy the views as we are to push the pace.
We try to meet up once or twice a month for group runs, usually on weekend mornings. Locations and distances vary, and we always post details in advance so you can decide if it's your kind of outing. Sometimes we finish with coffee or a snack, sometimes we just head home tired and happy.
If you like dirt under your shoes, good company, and a little fresh air, come join us. No experience required, just a pair of shoes you don't mind getting dusty.
