Valley Trail Series and Girls on the Run
Valley Trail Series is known for our bare bones approach to trail races, our strong sense of community and for making running fun again by bringing it back to the basics. Our trail races are for anyone looking to join a community, have fun and get out in nature. Ideal for veterans and rookies alike, our races connect you with community and nature so you can conquer the extra-mile- both on and off the trails.
Which is why we are thrilled to partner with and raise funds and awareness for Girls on the Run! Girls on the Run has fun, evidence-based programs that inspire all girls to build their confidence, kindness and decision making skills. Dynamic lessons instill valuable life skills including the important connection between physical and emotional health. Something we hope to instill in all our runners.
