Run Kind: Encourage Fitness Within Your Community
Running is a powerful way to stay healthy and enjoy the outdoors, no matter your pace or distance. Stay on designated trails, respect the land, and be courteous when passing others. By moving with purpose and practicing good trail etiquette, you help make outdoor spaces welcoming and sustainable for everyone:
Run Inclusive: Smile and say hello. Share the trails and encourage runners of all abilities.
Run Aware: Be mindful of wildlife and plant life. Know and abide the leash requirements and etiquette of your area parks and trails. Please pick up your dogs poop where required, or move it off the trail.
Run No Trace: Run on established trails. Avoid cutoffs, multiple tracks, and creating new paths.
Run Smart: Know trail conditions, let others know your running plan, and have a plan B in case trail conditions are adverse.
Run Safe: Be prepared and have appropriate gear for all weather and trail conditions. Bear spray is encouraged. Running with a partner is always best!
Run Prepared: Warmup, stretch, and cooldown appropriately to your level of experience and exertion—and don’t forget to hydrate.
Run Grateful: Our trails give us so much. Give back by volunteering for trail clean ups and other activities. Support local trail and recreation organizations.
