Built for your first dirt miles in Austin
Austin Trail Runners started from a simple gap: people who want the Greenbelt and Circle C, but need a coached introduction before jumping into faster club culture.
Why clinics first
Free meetups are wonderful when you already know the trails. They're stressful when you don't.
We sell ticketed beginner clinics so the experience is intentional: briefing, coaching, small groups, clear expectations. Membership weekly runs are a possible phase-2 — not the launch product.
Our stance
- Austin-only. Local trails. Local runners.
- Beginners deserve a real on-ramp.
- Coexist respectfully with Dirt Runners, Trail Roots, Happy Treading, and other local groups.
- Safety paperwork is a gate, not an afterthought — waiver + insurance before first paid clinic.
Who's behind this
Austin Trail Runners is led by local runners who care about safe, welcoming first-trail experiences in Austin.
What we are not
- Not a national virtual coaching brand
- Not a free weekly meetup clone as the core offer
- Not here to replace your favorite local club
