Get off the asphalt and join the Gold Coast Trail Running Series. Organised by Those Guys Events and supported by organisations like Altra Australia, Injinji Performance Products, Body Science International and Suunto, the Series take you off-road to various nature trails around the
Gold Coast. Trail running gets you out into the wilderness where the soft ground offers a more comfortable run than the road and away from the exhaust fumes of passing traffic. That also means a great workout with the lessen chance of an overuse injury.
