Looking back with gratitude. Stepping forward with purpose.

As we come to the end of 2025, we pause, not to count just the kilometres or events, but to honour the moments, the people, and the shared journeys that made this year what it was.

The path was muddy, twisted, rocky at times. But every mile was progress. And today, we’re proud of how far we’ve come together.

A Year of Showing Up

2025 was a year of showing up. Again and again.

Trail Femmes continued monthly group runs including route recces for the Bhatti Mines Ultra and a trip to the mounts in summer to build skills, confidence, and camaraderie among members.These activities fostered opportunities for women to explore local trails, learn trail-specific techniques, build endurance, and connect socially.

~3000 kilometres logged together on trails and roads
18 group events, including all our monthly community connects
Two unforgettable mountain outings
Active gear swaps, supporting athletes in need
Countless shared meals, conversations, laughs, and lessons

But what mattered most wasn’t the numbers. It was the consistency, the commitment, and the collective energy of the community.

Culture, Values & Growth

The focus remained on inclusivity, empowerment, and safety for women in trail running creating a supportive environment for beginners and seasoned runners alike.But more than the numbers, it was the togetherness that stood out the most was moving at different paces, yet always moving forward as one community.

Our Favourite Moments

Some moments stay with you long after the run is done.

A community coming together on the trails every single month
The magic of Bhatti Mines Ultra, from planning and route marking to race day execution and celebrating every finisher
Summer days in the mountains, travelling together, exploring trails, bird watching, and slowing down
Shared miles, shared meals, and swapped gear
New friendships forged along the way

These weren’t just runs. They were connections. Safe spaces. Small victories that added up to something meaningful.

What 2025 Taught Us

Showing up matters more than speed.And community makes every hard thing lighter.

In 2025, Trail Femmes continued to create space for women to explore trails, build confidence, step into leadership, and find strength not just in their legs, but in each other.
