Trail Running
You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.
The Women’s Adventure Club specializes in team fitness, bringing together women who share a passion for adventure, community, and personal growth. With expert coaching and a supportive team, we help you reach your fitness goals—because you don’t have to hit the trails alone. Our trail running programs are open to women of all fitness levels. Whether you’re new to trail running or training for a race, we welcome you! Speed doesn’t matter—endurance and consistency do.
What We Offer
Each program has recommended guidelines to help you choose the right fit:
- 5K Program – Ideal for beginners or those returning to running. No experience necessary—just a willingness to start and keep going!
- 10K Program – You should be able to run or run/walk for 30 minutes at your own pace. We focus on endurance, not speed.
- Half Marathon Program – Best for those who have completed a 10K or can run/walk for 45-60 minutes.
- Relay Race Training – If you can complete a 10K, you’re ready! We’ll help you build endurance and pacing skills for multi-leg relay races.
We explore a variety of trails, from rolling dirt paths to more technical terrain, all within a reasonable distance from Parker, Colorado—every week is a new adventure! In Make sure you remember to bring your hydration! Since we’re out on the trails, carrying a water bottle isn’t ideal. We recommend a hydration pack to keep your hands free and your water easily accessible. Check out our gear shop for our favorite hydration systems! If you’re not sure which program is right for you, email us at [email protected], and we’ll help you decide!

Courtney has been a recreational runner since the age of 14, but her true passion for trail running began in 2020.

Since then, she has completed five 50Ks, two 50-milers, and has her sights set on her first 100K in 2025.
Navigating injuries, including a stubborn case of achilles tendinopathy, led Courtney to develop a deep interest in injury prevention and training adaptation. Her commitment to learning led her to earn her UESCA Ultra Running Coaching Certification in 2023. Since then, she has been coaching runners of all backgrounds and experience levels, helping them achieve everything from their first ultra finish to completing a 100-miler. Above all, she loves sharing her passion for trail running and helping others find joy in the sport.
