Frustr8 7,886 Posted May 6, 2018 So do any women ever do these trial half marathons? Doubt I ever. run🏃 one, with 2 artificial knees, but if I🙆 could even walk👣 a quarter marathon it would be very cool. At my point in life it would rank somewhere btween bucket list and impossible dream, but it beats all hollow the thought of draining a keg or a cask of wine., doesn't it? 1 Stella S reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve done several.... 25k is my next trail goal! Ive done from 5k on up on the trails.The great thing about the trail ones are the folks are so much more mellow/low key and supportive than the ones who race on roads for the most part. Lots of people who switch between walking/hiking and running too so very beginner friendly. 1 Stella S reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
