Every first Saturday in June, we celebrate National Trails Day—a chance to reconnect with the paths that carry us to our wildest runs, most scenic rides, and clearest thoughts.

But these trails don’t take care of themselves. While we enjoy the grind and the views, it's on all of us to protect them—for ourselves, for each other, and for the next runner or rider who laces up.


WHY TRAILS MATTER

From high-desert switchbacks to lakeside fire roads, trails give us more than just distance. They give us freedom. Mental clarity. Community. On National Trails Day, we’re not just hitting the trail. We’re honoring it.


HOW YOU CAN HELP

🔧 Volunteer:
Local trail crews and conservation groups are always looking for help—clearing brush, fixing erosion, or just hauling out trash.

🗑 Pack It In, Pack It Out:
Leave no trace means more than just not littering—it’s about leaving the trail better than you found it.

🐾 Respect Others:
Trail etiquette keeps everyone safe:

  • Yield to uphill traffic.

  • Announce when passing.

  • Keep dogs leashed.

  • Keep music low—or better yet, use bone conduction headphones like our TRI 2 Series, so you hear everything: the playlist and the world around you.


SAFETY WITH SOUND

Running or riding on remote terrain means staying aware. That’s why our bone conduction design keeps your ears open, even when your focus is locked in. You hear the approaching bike, the startled hiker, or the crunch of gravel, while never losing the beat.


LET’S GO BEYOND THE PATH

This Saturday, get out there. Run the ridge. Ride the canyon. And while you're out, do something for the trail that does so much for you.

Tag us in your favorite trail moment with #GoBeyond and #NationalTrailsDay—we’ll be re-sharing top posts all weekend.
