MN Trail Run Collective LLC is a community-focused run club dedicated to exploring Minnesota’s beautiful trails. Based in East Central Minnesota, we provide a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment for everyone—whether you’re trail-curious or trail-serious—to connect, train, and enjoy the outdoors. Join us to challenge yourself, experience nature, and be part of a positive running community.

Community Member Tier (Free) Access to our regular recurring group runs, community updates, and trailhead meetups will always be free because we believe the trail running community should be accessible to everyone. We can't be everywhere at once, but state-wide virtual options will be rolling out later this summer to engage and connect dirt-lovers across the entire state!

(Note: While regular group runs and virtual club challenges are free, our larger premium community events and races—like Trailfest—are separate, paid ticketed events. Additionally, because keeping the collective safe, permitted, and insured involves ongoing overhead like RRCA national dues and insurance, we offer a voluntary Sustaining Member ($30/year) tier at registration for those who wish to directly support our operational infrastructure. There is absolutely zero obligation—we just want you on the singletrack with us!)

Come hit the dirt—we can't wait to see you out there!

MN Trail Run Collective LLC is proudly based in East Central Minnesota, and we believe the trail community should be accessible to everyone—which is why our standard community membership and upcoming state-wide virtual options will always have a free option.

However, building a sustainable, safe, and legally protected running community comes with real, ongoing backend overhead. If you love what the collective brings to the trail community, value our certified coaching resources, and are in a position to help us grow, we invite you to choose our Sustaining Membership tier.

Your annual $30 contribution is entirely voluntary and directly helps us defray the essential costs of running the club, including:

RRCA Club Membership & National Affiliation
Comprehensive Commercial General Liability Insurance (so we can keep hosting safe, permitted group runs at our local parks)
Community Initiatives, Virtual Challenges, & Trailhead Perks
(Note: Standard club group runs are included, but larger premium events and races—like Trailfest—remain separate, paid ticketed events.)

There is absolutely zero obligation to pay to run with us—we just want you on the trails! But by choosing to become a Sustaining Member, you are directly investing in the infrastructure of MTRC and helping us keep the singletrack welcoming for everyone. Thank you for your incredible support!
