2024 Summer Trails Program
Sacfit Ultra is the longest running ultra marathon team in the region and has trained hundreds of advanced, intermediate, and beginning runners to successful finishes in trail races ranging from half marathon distances to 100+ miles.
We combine an atmosphere of fun and social team building with a serious and challenging training program, all under the auspices of expert personalized coaching and comprehensive resources.
The training program consists of two weekend supervised workouts (shorter mileage on Saturdays and the longer mileages on most Sundays), and midweek workouts focused on shorter and moderate length mileages, as well as strength training and specialized workouts.
SUMMER SEASON HIGHLIGHTS
New and Less Traveled Trail Venues
The Sacfit Summer Trails Program will expand from the regular Pioneer and ALT venues, and offer tours of the upper Western States Course, the American River Parkway single-track trails system (Approximately 50K worth of miles) and other less-traveled trails in the Sacramento Foothills to add variety and breadth to your trail running venues.
Sacfit Ultra App
Connect your Garmin, Strava, or other tracking devices or software to the Sacfit Ultra App and consolidate all your training stats for your own review or consult with your coach. Also, you have the entire workout schedule at your fingertips. But that’s where the similarities to other training apps ends! Unique features to the Sacfit Ultra App include voice-navigated routes for various weekend long routes and mid-week routes (no more getting lost); written and video articles detailing specialized workouts and related training information, and a private social group (no need to have a FB account) to name a few. This app is the most comprehensive training app out there, bar none.
