Trail Work Series presented by Runners for Public Lands, Coyote Two Moon Trail Races, and the Los Padres Forest Association

Runners for Public Lands (RPL) envisions a world in which everyone has access to healthy, clean, and runnable environments. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that empowers runners to engage in climate action, protect public lands, and expand access to nature for all people. 

We are excited to partner with the United States Forest Service (USFS), Los Padres Forest Association, and Coyote Two Moon to present the 2025 Trail Work Series in Ventura County. This brings our local community of runners together to learn about and care for the living landscapes we run with. Through repetitive, hands-on service events with an educational component, we can share ecological values and create strong connections that inspire runners to care for the people and places they love. 

This 2025 Ventura Trail Work Series will include 4 independent trail work events, each with its own short and unique educational component. Each event will be approved, permitted, and insured by the USFS, led by the Los Padres Forest Association trail work leaders, and managed by Runners for Public Lands Staff and volunteers.  Participants are not required to attend all events but can earn prizes/incentives from our brand coalition sponsors including nomadix, HOKA, and GU for attending multiple events. 

Registration opens on January 27th for the first event of the season on Sunday, February 9th. Registration for all other events opens on February 5th. Please note that the days and times of all events are subject to change based on the discretion of the USFS, current conditions and weather. We will keep everyone informed through the Runners for Public Lands Ventura Strava Club and direct emails to registrants.
