Trail running can be a welcome change to the fast paced road races that have become so popular in recent years. They are generally held on hiking trails, woodland areas and more difficult terrain and are generally known to have less of a stress impact compared to running on the road.
One of the most appealing parts of trail races are that you get to experience a different kind of running across gravel, mud, streams and rivers and everything in between where you feel more at one with nature and specific trail shoes are often recommended.
