Trail Nation

CONTACT

Summary of Group:

Trail Nation is a social trail running group based in South Wales, set up in spring 2021 to help build a community around trail running.

We organise two high quality guided trail runs every month aimed at taking runners across some of the best routes and trails South Wales has to offer. The runs are led at a social pace with plenty of stops for runners to catch their breath. People who come along tell us how much they love exploring (and using) new routes, making new friends with like-minded people, and the easy going pace of the runs.

It's led by Christian and Alice, two experienced runners who love mountains!

All our runs include hills but these are hiked. Each run includes a recommended kit list.
