Springdale, UT - October 6, 2012

About the Hike Team

TNT provides a noncompetitive, comprehensive program to prepare you for an endurance hike event. The program is designed with the busy person in mind, so most weekday workouts are 45-90 minutes or less, with longer workouts on the weekend. During the week you follow the training calendar and cross-train on your own.
Designed and implemented by professional hike coaches, the program is designed to take hikers from a beginning base of a few miles, building gradually to near-event day distance and elevation change over the course of the program.

At your event destination, you hike with a professional guide who ensures your safety while showing you the local flora, fauna and culture.

Our Silicon Valley & Monterey/Santa Cruz Hike Teams train at beautiful locations in and San Jose, Los Altos, Soquel & Watsonville.

Skill & Ability

Team In Training welcomes all levels of experience. Our training program is designed to help first-timers complete a major hike event, and to challenge seasoned hikers to meet their training goals.

As you train, you will work with your coach to select the best trail for your ability. (Due to weather and permit conditions, parks cannot guarantee that specific trails will be available on event day.)

What's Next?
