Trail running together
Our joint trail running evenings continue on Monday evenings, starting at 18.00, from one hour to one and half hours per evening. Running on trails is kind to your muscles and joints, as every step is different, and the ground is usually soft. The uneven ground and differences in height demands every muscle to work. Trail running clears your mind of daily issues.
During these trail running evenings, we study the trail running techniques, explore the nearby areas and trail running paths.
The meeting place for every Monday is published on Joensuun Latu website, on monthly newsletters (sent by email), and on the Facebook-page of Itä-Suomen polkuilijat.
