Trail Running in Cottonwood

One of my favorite places to run is Cottonwood Valley, about 20 miles outside of Vegas.

Just 20 miles away from Las Vegas is a beautiful series of trails - challenging, but not super technical - perfect for those new to trail running

It's so beautiful and peaceful out there! And the trails are challenging, but not super technical - so perfect for someone new to trail running.

A friend of mine wanted to run her first half marathon in 2016, so I convinced her to do a trail race - because they're so much fun! A couple weeks ago, I introduced her to this fantastic area for a training run, and SHE LOVED IT, TOO!

We ran around a mountain, and then ran a mile up a mountain before turning around to head back down, but first...
A little Warrior I.

When out doing some trail running, it's always fun to strike a little yoga!

We only explored 5 miles, but there are miles and miles of trails in this area - on both sides of the highway. Our half marathon is on May 1st, so we've got lots of training runs ahead of us, and I'm sure that several will be done in Cottonwood.

The reward of pushing through the uphills are being able to fly down the downhill.
