Flagstaff Trail Divas

04/20/2026

Let's run/hike the Fort Valley Trail System this Thursday, April 23 at 5:30pm. It's about a 4.4 mile loop out and back or longer if you want. You can also make it a shorter journey taking another loop out and back ~3 mile run.
Directions: Driving north on Highway 180, go approximately 4.7 miles to Forest Road 164 B (where 180 makes a big left turn). Turn right, and drive about 400 feet then make another right on to a dirt road where the trail head will be straight ahead about 100 feet.
See you Thursday!

Fifteen Divas and six doggos out on the FUTS trail this evening for an out and back hike/run and cleanup of our section of the trail. 🥾

This week’s run, Thursday March 26th at 5:30, will be on the FUTS trail that includes the trail section for which the Divas are stewards. We will met at the parking lot on the corner of Lone Tree and JW Powel.
We will start up Powell Boulevard to Fisher Point Trail. This is an out-and back- so you can pick your distance.
On our way back we will do some trail stewardship on our trail section which is only .5 miles so bring a plastic bag and gloves and we'll pick up trash. That section is a hill so it's a good place to walk anyway!
See you Thursday!

Hey Divas! This Thursday is going to be great weather so bring a chair and a beverage and we'll socialize after the run. Also, one idea for future runs is to have volunteers take just one month to post runs. This would spread out the responsibility among several divas. We can talk about this and any other ideas for posting future runs, and also videos and social posts. Can't wait to see everyone!

Hi Divas! It's time to start up our Thursday night runs. On Thursday, March 19th we will meet at 5:30 pm at the Thorpe Bark Park/Baseball Fields parking lot and will run on the FUTS/Karen Cooper trail. This is an out and back so the mileage and speed are yours to decide.

This year we are looking for some Divas to post runs, take over the weekly videos, and keep the group moving forward. Winnie, Marsha, Kelly and I have been handling the admin work for the Divas for many years now and would like to have others step up and take over. A few Divas working together keeps the admin work manageable. We're happy to answer any questions and help make the transition easy for everyone.

Hi Divas!
Our holiday get-together is right around the corner. It's next Thursday, December 18th at 5:30 pm. The get-together is a potluck and gift exchange held at Kelly's house. PM Kelly Hanseth if you need the address. Bring a dish to share -please indicate in the comments whether you are bringing an appetizer, side, main, or dessert - no need to name the dish just the category so we can spread out the goodies.
The gift exchange is a white elephant/homemade gift exchange and has been a lot of fun in past years. Bring something you have that needs a new home or you can bring something you made. It can be silly, useful, eye-catching or it could be a return of a past white elephant gift.
Looking forward to catching up with all of you. Let me know if there are any questions.

Hi Divas! The holidays are approaching and it's time to plan our holiday get-together. Save the date of Thursday, December 18th. We will be gathering at one of the Diva's homes for a potluck dinner.
We will also continue our tradition of a White Elephant Gift Exchange. No need to buy anything as it is a regifting theme - so bring something that needs a new home.
More details to follow in soon.

This Thursday October 8th at 5:00pm we will be run/walking part of the Karen Cooper Trail. Please note we will be starting the trail off of Lynette Dr. To get to that part of the trail take 180 to Fremont Blvd (in Cheshire). After you have gotten on Fremont you will continue driving to Lynette Drive which is on your left (past Cheshire Park). Turn left onto Lynette Drive and find a parking spot close to Lynette and Darlene (which is the first right you can make off of Lynette).

This will be our last run of the season (we will be posting a few Saturday run/hikes from now on until spring). To celebrate after the run we will walk to Kelly's house for chatting and snacking. BYOB and a snack if desired but not necessary.

Please note the 5:00pm start time.

There is rain in the forecast. If it is too rainy to run we will still be gathering at Kellys. PM if you need the address.

Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps.

Thursday October 2nd at 5:30 we will be exploring the trails in the dry lake area. We will all meet at the "y" (Shultz Rd and Elden Lookout Rd). We will then make a loop consisting of Big Bang, Afterflow and Schults. This is about a 3-mile loop, you can make it bigger by doing an out and back on big bang.
See you Thursday!
