This week with TTR: "A truly mind altering experience"

Hi friends,

Running on a familiar trail almost feels like inviting friends over into your house. You know where everything is and how to make everyone comfortable.

But you also need to find new, exciting routes and that means reconning unfamiliar terrain with a smaller group before inviting everyone over.

That's what Robert is planning for March 3 in Gunma. Full details here but, in Robert's own words, this will be "a truly mind altering experience on a snowy mountain". Don't miss out!

Keep following our newsletter and our Facebook page for more announcements and updates.
