When: This Saturday morning (April 1st)
Time: 8 am

What to bring:

• A positive attitude towards having fun.
• Shoes that have some traction left in them, but ones that you don't mind getting a little dirty.
• A friend to enjoy trail running with.
• Money to go out for a well deserved coffee or tea afterwards and share our trail stories.

What to expect:

• We will start with introductions and making sure that everyone is registered and ready to participate.
• We will go over a introductory talk about gear and shoes.
• Then we will talk about how the Saturday sessions will take place and what to expect in the weeks to come.
• We will follow this up with a group run through the lower section of the Rouge Valley trail with some walks and stops to talk about safety and other concerns while trail running.
• Depending on the weather, trail sessions will be between 60 and 90 minutes long.
