SUMMARY:Field Leader Hiking and Trail Running Course
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: The trail running community has grown immensely over the last few years with more races out there for everyone to experience in varying terrain and epic locations. This means trail runners are getting out there to train\, more meetup groups are being created\, and more mountain adventures are being planned. These races provide a moderately controlled environment for people to explore the great outdoors which gives people a false sense of security when they head out on their own to train or adventure. This course is going to teach you how to lead\, prepare and plan for group or solo trail runs. \nWHO: This certification has been created to educate anyone wanting more knowledge on how to plan\, lead\, and adventure with a group or solo responsibly and safely so members of our community do not become another Search And Rescue statistic. \nThis certification gives you the OCC Field Leader Hiking\, with a focus on Trail Running giving you credibility\, skill\, and tools in leading groups for hiking or trail running.
