The Palm Springs Tram Road Challenge and Desert Run Club will host three free training runs during the summer on the actual Tram Road Challenge course. You don't even have to be registered for or participating in the Tram Road Challenge (but you really should). These runs open to all, with runners and walkers of all levels invited to join. Tram Road Challenge Race Director Matt will be there to answer any questions about the course, race day tips, and more. These runs will start at the Palm Springs Visitor Center, run up the Tram Road, then head back down. Water, post-run snacks and giveaways will be provided.
