Give back to the
trails you love.

Trail Kind is a community of trail runners who show up — not just to run, but to take care of the places we run. We organize volunteer trail work, support land managers, and build a culture of stewardship throughout trail running.

What This Is
Trail runners, organized as stewards.
Trail Kind is a membership community that activates trail runners to maintain trails, support land managers, protect access, and build community around the places we love to run.
We believe that the people who benefit from trails should have easy, meaningful ways to take care of them. Not through guilt — through pride, belonging, and showing up.
"In ten years, the norm is: of course I spend a few days a year working on trails."

"A world where trail runners see themselves not only as trail users, but as trail stewards."
We imagine a future where trail runners are known as people who show up — maintaining trails, supporting land managers, protecting access, and building community around the places they love to run.
What We Believe
Trails are a public good.

Access should not depend on wealth or user fees. The people who benefit from trails should have opportunities to maintain and protect them. That's what Trail Kind is for.

Stewardship — we leave trails better than we found them
Service — we give back
Community — trails connect people as much as places
Partnership — we work with land managers
Access — everyone deserves access to trails
