As you know, I just love trailing running. There's something about being outdoors surrounded by nothing but nature that makes me feel so alive. There are so many reasons for you to get out on the trails, so I wanted to come up with a list of some of my favorite reasons.

  1. Nature- That's all that needs to be said here.
  2. Switching up surfaces can prevent overuse injuries.
  3. It's mostly easier on your body than pounding pavement.
  4. You don't have to deal with the annoyances of traffic, cars, or stop lights.
  5. The air quality is better.
  6. You get to work different muscles.
  7. There's probably a beautiful trail around you that you never even knew about.
  8. You burn more calories per mile that on the road. 
  9. You can get some quality alone time.
  10. You will feel accomplished after. 
  11. It always helps to try new challenges in running and in life. 
  12. There are many great trail races around the country probably close to you.
  13. You won't get bored on your run.
  14. The fresh air helps your mental health.
  15. People are generally friendly on the trails.
  16. The views can be breathtaking.
  17. You can run with your dog.
  18. You can run slower.
  19. It's quiet and calm out there.
  20. You will impress your friends.
