The CATs offer a 25K training program in preparation for the Naked Creek Trail Race.  In addition, a 50K Training Program to prepare you for Promise Land 50K.  Both of these training programs kick-off in January.

Our training programs are open to all runners, and you are welcome to join the weekly group runs on Saturday. You don’t have to sign up for the programs, or plan on doing one of the races, just come out and have fun!

The location and start time of the Saturday group runs are posted every Wednesday on our Facebook Page and emailed to all subscribers of the CAT Mailing List Subscribe now!

50K Training Program

Ultras can seem like an impossible feat, but with a great plan and persistence you can do it. The CATs 50K training plan prepares you for the Promise Land 50K in April. But you can also use this program to prepare for another trail 50K.

The training plan calls for long trail runs on Saturdays. If you’d like to do your long runs with fellow trail runners, make sure you sign up for the CATs Facebook Group and CAT Email List to see if a group run is organized. Some Saturday runs will be lead by CAT board members, but we encourage all participants to use our Facebook group and email list to organize runs.
