Schedule:

Remember, we will run in the rain or snow, but not in severe winds or in a lightning / severe thunderstorm.  These group training runs are FREE, but it would be real nice if you would join the Nerds.  We also expect you to provide for your own water and needs.  Please read our Trailrunning Disclaimer prior to attending a training run.

Many of the Trail Nerds love ultrarunning.
 
Do you want to train to run a 50K, 50-mile, or 100-mile ultramarathon? 
 
Come and join the "Trail Nerds" on a group run, and learn how.  We have the fastest and most experienced local ultrarunners in this part of the Midwest.  Why pay someone to "train" on pavement for a trail ultramarathon?...that's just silly!!!

We have at least four to eight group training sessions PER WEEK.  AND IT'S FREE.  We won't "baby" you.  You will carry your own water and learn to be self-sufficient, just like you will need to be in a real ultramarathon.  We train year-round...in the heat, snow, ice, and rain.  You will learn to deal with any and all conditions that you will encounter in an actual race.
 
The Kansas City Trail Nerds were voted "best of 2007" for running groups in KC.  We are a welcoming group of interesting and inclusive characters.  Our simple rules for running are: No pavement, no whiners, and HAVING FUN!
