A Light-Hearted Group of Runners

Dusty Bottoms Trail Runners is dedicated to supporting & encouraging like-minded runners of all abilities.

We strive to provide a sense of community, fun group runs, and events that are both challenging & welcoming.

If your primary goal is to talk about PRs, discuss your splits or anything to do with Fartleks, we may not be the club for you. If you want to have some laughs during a run and maybe a beer afterward, that’s more our speed.
