Trail Blazers
The Program
This fitness and educational program prepares beginner and intermediate athletes to run, jog, or walk with confidence and competence on Hawaii’s technical (rooty, rocky, hilly, and muddy) trails.
- The program introduces trailblazers to a variety of Oahu’s most scenic and runnable mountain and shoreline trails.
- Basic skills are taught on Mount Tantalus and in Aiea on the first three Sundays, culminating with a potluck brunch after the Aiea Trail run.
- Muscle power is built with two steep mountain runs, followed by three long runs designed to build stamina for marathon training.
