‘Learn how to run with poles’

You have asked and we are delivering.

So many of you Black Trail Runners members want to learn how to walk, walk/run and run using poles. This trail taster day will educate you and enable you to practice, practice, practice!

On this trail taster day we have enlisted the support of experts and trail runners including Sarah Jane Colby from My Race Kit (distributor of LEKI, Mountain King, Black Diamond poles etc), Sabrina Pace-Humphreys from Black Trail Runners and Paula Bedford from Camino Ultra.

In the morning session you will be shown how to use poles to run on all trail terrains and all gradients. From uphill to downhill, from flat to undulating, from mud to mountains.

After the practical morning session we will stop for lunch and - as per all Black Trail Runners trail taster days - the afternoon session is all about moving as one on the trails. Black Trail Runners Run leaders and coaches will lead you on an inclusive trail run - all paces catered for. No person left behind.

Spaces are limited to 30 so, if you are interested, keep an eye out on email for registration form. You must be a registered Black Trail Runners member to gain priority access to this event.
