Tuesday Speedwork:
June Speedwork sessions are moving to the morning, locations to be determine. See below for details.
On occasion, we break from regularity and have a workout at a different location. It is always posted on our calendar and a reminder is often posted on Discord for the change. All are welcome and encouraged to come. The workout posted is a guideline, but it can always be adapted to meet your needs. If you are wanting to build some speed this is the run for you.

Thursday Morning Trail Runs
Satisfy your inner mountain goat!
This trail run will take place every Thursday morning at 6:30 AM or 7:00 AM (season depending) starting from various trailheads around the University/Avenues area. We are a dog-friendly group, so if Fido needs to get his miles in as well feel free to bring him along.
Keep in mind that weather impacts trail conditions and there may be mornings where we decide to run on the road. The appropriate gear can also make your sunrise trail run much more enjoyable:
- Good pair of trail running shoes
- Headlamp to light your path
- Yaktrax for snowy/icy trail conditions
We look forward to seeing you on the Salt Lake City Back Track!

Monthly Fun Run
Once a month (usually on the first Wednesday) we host a social run. Whether we’re collaborating with another running group, partnering with a local business, or just running together & socializing afterward – these runs are more about community than pace. All paces are encouraged – we hope you’ll join us!
