Almaguin Highlands Trails Club
Exploring the trails of the Almaguin Highlands shouldn't be a solo venture. This is a FREE running club for us to support and motivate you in your running journey! It doesn't matter if you are a walker or runner, an athlete or a beginner, we just want to surround you with active-minded people who have a passion for staying healthy!
We welcome all levels and paces, so bring a friend or just venture out one morning (or afternoon/evening) with us and chances are you'll go home knowing you have a new friend.
We will always have a meet-up on the first Saturday of every month on the trails of Copeman Tree Farms for a more fun and 'footloose' vibe and we will always share a healthy snack afterwards for diabetes awareness. This is a year round club where we switch to snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in the winter months.
Once we get more members, you can decide when we will have a more focused run and if it's going to be an early morning 'sweat sesh' or an after work 'get it done' (or maybe we have both!). Post what you want to do, add your friends, and chances are there are other members who want to participate!
