Trail Crew 2025

🏃‍♂️ Join Trail Crew!

Trail Running & Ultramarathon Training
Running single-track trail can be one of the most amazing experiences, but it can also be a bit intimidating if you aren't familiar with the terrain. That's where we come in! Join Fleet Feet & MIT's Trail Crew and we will help you explore until you are ready to head out on your own. You'll meet new friends and discover a love of trail running along the way!

• Stress Relief: Spending time in nature is a great way to soothe the stress of the day, relaxing the mind.
