Our agenda

🔥 Sun. 1 February - Store Opening

trail.nl store

Our new store at Maasstraat 37 in Amsterdam has been open for a few weeks now, of course. Is it completely finished yet? No, I don't think it's ever 100% finished. But our name recently went up above the facade, so it's time for a celebration.

On Sunday, February 1st, from 12:00 to 17:00, we are open to anyone who would like to come and take a look.

Frequently asked questions about the social runs

Are your social runs free?

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It depends a bit on who we're working with and what exactly we're doing. Sometimes we incur a bit more expense and ask for a symbolic contribution.

Do you always start from the store?

No, definitely not. Sometimes we start at the store, but sometimes we really want to hit the trails, and Amsterdam South isn't the best place for that.

Do I have to be very quick?

We're not all like that ourselves, so no. They're social runs, and the idea is that you can still have a nice chat along the way.
