2024 Fall Trail Sessions
Run Wild Missoula offers a variety of trail running sessions designed to get you ready for a season of strong and healthy trail running. Our trail classes are geared toward everyone. We offer sessions for people brand new to trails to the experienced trail runner, and everyone in between. The Fall Sessions (all levels) will run from September 16 through November 1, 2024.
Registration for Fall Trail Sessions opens August 29, 2024 at 8:00 PM!
Want to volunteer to be a lead on a trail session? Please email Run Wild Missoula.
Run Wild Missoula is choosing not to charge for trail sessions – in doing so, the hope is that participants will pass along what they consider the session to be worth in a donation to the Five Valleys Land Trust! The donation to FVLT will aid with the development of area trails and open spaces. Thanks for helping us give back to the open spaces we are so lucky to have in our backyards!
Donations can be made here.
Introductory emails from leaders to participants are typically sent out the day before class, so keep an eye on your email inboxes! Don’t forget to check your spam folder as well!
