Running – Skill Level

Advanced Novice:
You are comfortable running on some singletrack that has few obstacles. You prefer trails with few hills or descents.

Intermediate:
You enjoy running on singletrack that has various obstacles including small loose rock, roots, mud and sand. You like to test yourself with medium sized hills, even though you find them difficult. Exposure with little to no consequence is fine.

Advanced:
You love running singletrack and aren’t deterred by roots, rocks or most obstacles. You are not intimidated by long singletrack climbs and are confident with your personal pace. Exposure is acceptable on moderate trails.

Expert:
You love running in all terrain. When someone says “loose rock, mud, roots, and uneven terrain”, you say “bring it on”. Long climbs and descents with obstacles are exciting, and exposure with reasonable consequences goes unnoticed.

Running – Fitness Level

Level 1:
You trail run weekly and are reasonably fit. You can run at a comfortable pace for 2 – 4 hours including running through some hilly terrain. Your average run is about 10 – 15kms, with some longer runs as a challenge

Level 2:
You trail run 2 – 4 times a week with a focus on fitness. Your average run is 4 – 6 hours at a moderate pace. You often find your runs including 1.5 – 2 hours of hilly or steep mountainous terrain using a run/hike techniques. Wearing a running vest with gear is not abnormal. Running multiple days is found challenging but welcomed

Level 3:
You trail run more than 4 times a week and are very fit. You could run/hike up 6 – 8 hours a day at a good pace, including 2+ hours of hilly and at times steep mountainous terrain. You are used to wearing a running vest ~10 lbs or more and love challenging yourself with big, back to back days
