“If I could give one piece of advice to anyone who wants to start trail running, it’s this: everything is easier and way more fun when you find people to do it with. Everyone I’ve met through ATG has been incredibly welcoming and helpful, especially when I was just starting out. Many of them are seasoned runners, and I’ve learned so much just by being around them. The ladies are all so kind and generous with their advice, whether it’s about trail running or life in general. I’m usually the youngest person at the ATG events, and I’m so grateful to have such a supportive community looking out for me.”
