Run Wild in Athens and Beyond
TRAIL CREATURES
We answered.
We’re the Trail Team of the Athens Road Runners. We’re a group of runners of all skill-levels; we don’t mind a little mud on our shoes. We have two goals for our Trail Creatures (TCs):
To train together in the mountains in a noncompetitive and fully supported environment, providing benefits of training in a group such as safety in numbers, aid & nutrition, camaraderie, and skill sharing.
Provide a training group for those planning to compete in trail races of distances from half marathon up to 50k and beyond.

Mountain trail runs are rugged and take some getting used to, but our community is diverse and ALL are welcome. Each run offers multiple distance options and a buddy system to ensure no one gets left behind. We also have a hiking group! We encourage you to try out local trail runs in the ARR Trail Series before coming to a mountain run.
