All of the Above Trail Fest - AUGUST 29 at Northfield Mountain

AUGUST 29 The Venture Out Project x Beast Coast Trail Running: At this festival, we're making space for our identities - as trail runners, as outdoorsy folk, as people - which need more breathing room than the traditional binary gender options during race registration allow for. Here, we’re claiming All of the Above, and running with it.

The theme? To welcome EVERYONE.  Specifically, we’re calling for queer and transgender runners, and their allies, to come play on the trails with us - regardless of competition or athletic level.  No matter who you are, or what ‘box’ you might check, you are encouraged to participate - we’re celebrating the person, not the body, at this fest. Sign up here!
