The date of March 17th is, according to Strava data, the busiest day of the year for people getting outdoors to run. Yes, it’s even more popular than the month of January! Who knew, well Strava do!

We Black Trail Runners know that there is no better time to take up, or enjoy, the beauty that is trail running than Springtime? The warmer weather, lighter nights, daffodils and snowdrops blanketing the ground – what’s not to love?!

Trail running in the Springtime is a runners’ paradise!

Black Trail Runners’ charitable mission is to increase the inclusion, participation, and representation of Black people in trail running. So, this Spring, we invite both new people interested in trail running, and existing members of our community, to come together to run with us on specially curated trail routes in London, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Sussex and – for the first time – Washington DC!

Join us as, through these runs, we continue to re-claim our rightful place in the outdoors via the activity of trail running.

Come run for you, for the community, for a truly diverse outdoors!

The Spring into Trail Running with BTR x Strava run events will be suitable for both the new trail runner and the more experienced, with each run being led by our amazing BTR social run leaders.

But Spring into Trail Running with BTR x Strava is about more than the run! It’s about total immersion in the BTR community vibes, sharing stories and sharing joy. That’s why, to keep the vibes high, each run will culminate in refreshments provided by BTR for each participant and a host of BTR/Strava swag will be gifted too, thus ensuring that BTR Spring swagger stays with you each participant through 2024.
