Fun Runs

This year the UMTR will be offering monthly fun, non-competitive trail runs. So, come on out – perhaps see a new trail system you have not seen before, meet some potential new running partners or just join some old friends for a trip through the woods. A UMTR host will be present to help guide anyone new to the trail system. UMTR members and non-members are welcome. Feel free to bring your friends!

  • The schedule is the first Wednesday of each month.
  • Runs will start at 6:30 PM and last for about an hour.
  • Scheduled dates and locations are as follows: *
