Queen City Trailblazers
About this race
Queen City Trailblazers is an opportunity for elementary aged kids (K-5th) to explore the basics of trail running! Our team of coaches will lead your young runner through trail etiquette, proper running form and technique (suitable for trail running) and expose them to a lifelong sport that they can enjoy by themselves and with friends/family. Trailblazers is a 4 week program, however, your runner does not need to sign up for all 4 practices. For example, if you want to sign up for just the first practice, you can do that. Or you can sign up for 2 of the 4 practices, 3 of the 4 practices or 4 of the 4 practices. Please note, that this program is a first come basis and we have 20 spots reserved for each practice. This is to ensure the following: safety for all participants, proper coach to athlete ratio, and ease up on congestion in the trails.
The schedule for practices will be the following:
September 21st: Marquette Board of Light and Power Trails off of Wright Street From 5:00-5:45pm
September 28th: NTN South Trailhead. From 5:00-5:45pm
