SPRING TRAIL BLAZERS

REGISTRATION OPENS ON MAY 3rd at 7am

The Trail Blazers program is for adventurous kids 2nd–6th grades. We encourage youth to use trail running as a fun way to stay fit for life. We do this by making running fun! We clamber over trees and rocks, play games, explore beaches and forests, make friends, build and clean up trails, challenge ourselves and get dirty!


Groups will meet at a different location each week. The Y will provide transportation to the trailhead from six schools this (Birchwood, Happy Valley, Wade King, Silver Beach, Parkview and Columbia). Runners who have their own transportation are welcome to join ANY of our teams. Trained coaches run with small groups of kids to ensure safety, proper trail etiquette and FUN! The focus is on doing one’s personal best, not competing with each other.
