Trail Work Series

Flagstaff

Welcome to the 2026 Flagstaff Trail Work Series!

We are excited to partner with Peak Trail Runners and the U.S. Forest Service to present the 2026 Flagstaff Trail Work Series in Arizona. This brings 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.

This 2026 Flagstaff Trail Work Series will include 2 independent trail work events, each with its own short and unique educational component. Each event will be approved, permitted, and insured by the U.S. Forest Service, led by Peak Trail Runners, and managed by Runners for Public Lands staff and volunteers. Participants are not required to attend all events but can earn prizes/incentives from our brand coalition sponsors for attending multiple events.

“The impact of trail work not only provides new trails and keeps existing trails in good shape, but it’s also a way to connect with your community. Those who attend volunteer trail workdays likely have a love for their local trails and putting in the effort to maintain them creates an ownership between the volunteers and the trails they recreate on. Additionally, the local Forest Service trail crews currently have very limited staff, so the need for volunteer trail work is more important than ever to continue the work that many of us benefit from when we go for our runs.”
