RunningLane ROOTS

Calling all trail runners to join us for our Running Lane ROOTS trail clinic and training program. Strong roots can produce beautiful results. Beginner to advanced welcomed. ROOTS will help provide you with a solid foundation for trail running, and we will provide you with tools and training to help you grow and thrive. Along with a 18-week custom training plan and group long runs, you can also benefit from trail running clinics with practicums, in which we will work on specific techniques to help you run

with more efficiency and ease. We will be training for those wanting to run the Rocket City Marathon/ Half as well as upcoming trail races like the Winter Wild Thangs Trail Series, Frozen Goat 15k/30k and Mountain Mist 50k.
