RPL is excited to partner with Peak Trail Runners, Wilderness Volunteers, and Coconino National Forest to present the 2024 Trail Work Series in Flagstaff!

 

Our Trail Work Series aims to create opportunities that bring our local community of runners together to learn about and care for the living landscapes we run with. Through repetitive, hands-on service events with an educational component, we can share ecological values and create strong connections that inspire runners to care for the people and places they love. See more about the program on our Trail Work Series page here. And a special thank you to KahtoolaGUHOKA, and more outdoor brands for helping to bring this event to life. All runners who participate in these events will be entered to win some rad prizes from these brands and more!

 

DATES & DETAILS:

This Trail Work Series will include 2 independent trail work events, each with its own unique educational component. Volunteers will help fix up the Lost Burrito trail and turn it into a foot traffic-only trail in the Dry Lake Hills/Schultz Creek area. No experience is required and everyone is welcome to join. Each trail work event is limited to 25 people so sign up to reserve your spot here for August 8 or September 18.

Each event will be approved, permitted, and insured by the USFS and led by USFS trail work leaders, Wilderness Volunteer staff, and Runners for Public Lands volunteers. All volunteers will be required to sign a USFS waiver before volunteering. 

Wilderness Volunteers has been providing affordable and meaningful volunteer service opportunities that conserve and protect America’s wild lands since 1997. Working in cooperation with the US Forest Service, National Park Service, the BLM, the US Fish & Wildlife Service and others, you’ll be inspired and invigorated when you see how much a group can accomplish in a few days.

Trailblazer Running is about community, challenging & rewarding events, and respect for our outdoor places. We want everyone to have an amazing experience, while ensuring fairness, safety and leaving minimal impact on the environment. Read more here.
