What got you into trail running?

I actually got into trail running just a few years ago.

There was a local race that went through hiking trails that I already knew by heart. I wanted to try to race out. I started training and fell in love with trail running.

Now, I love doing it every chance I get, but I still enjoy a slow hike, too!

How about you all?

I got to know about trail running through a neighbor. I fell in love with it when I noticed the mental and health benefits it offers. The truth is that every trail run strengthens your legs, improves one balance, builds mental resilience, and help one reduces stress.

For me, it was mainly because I wanted to lose some weight, and now I usually do it because it also clears my head when I have a lot going on.
