Native Women Run ABQ

Albuquerque friends, our group trail run is TOMORROW, Tuesday, 4/7! Great opportunity to get in that trail 🏃🏽‍♀️ training or just decompress in nature after work.

🏃🏽‍♀️We will be running an out and back on Trail 401. Turn around will be the covered picnic table right past Embudo trailhead parking lot.
🚙Park at Copper Trailhead parking lot or along the side of Copper Ave (which is off of Tramway Blvd)
💦Recommend you bring water to carry on run since this trail has hills.
🦌Bonus: Wildlife sighting opportunity! We often seen deer along this trail in the evening.

Time to break out the day planners and Google calendars because we have the NWR ABQ events for April.

🤔Anything new? Glad you asked. Since our days are now longer and getting warmer, we are adding evening runs on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month through September.

🏃🏽‍♀️The first Tuesday of the month will be a trail run. And the 3rd Tuesday will be a road or paved path run. We’re hoping that by adding this variety into our schedule, more folks will find a run to join.

As our Albuquerque groups moves forward, we wanted to share our community guidelines.

These are the guidelines that we ask all participants to abide by on our social media and at our events.

Swipe through the slides. And if you have any questions, please feel free to dm.

We are sharing these guidelines now because we want to safeguard the welcoming, respectful, and supportive Native running community that we’ve built so far in New Mexico. Thank you to everyone that participates in our events and the beautiful spirit you bring. May we continue to uplift our fellow Native runners!

Don’t forget about our two events this weekend!
