Altra TrailFest is a running race on September 17, 2026 in Lewis Center, OH.
From the Organizer
TrailFest with Altra is your invitation to hit the trails, discover something new, and connect with an amazing community of runners and hikers!
Join us for a fun-filled celebration of all things trail running and hiking, featuring Altra shoe demos that give you the opportunity to experience their innovative fit, natural foot shape design, and trail-ready performance firsthand. Whether you’re a seasoned trail runner, hiker or curious about taking your first steps off the pavement, this is the perfect chance to find your next adventure.
But that’s not all! Enjoy exciting giveaways, connect with fellow outdoor enthusiasts, share stories, and experience the camaraderie that makes the trail community so special. Come ready to move, explore, laugh, and make new friends along the way.
TrailFest isn’t about how fast you run or how far you go—it’s about getting outside and enjoying the journey together. Bring your trail buddies, meet some new ones, and celebrate the dirt, the miles, and the memories.
Come run, connect, demo Altra, win some great giveaways, and experience the Fleet Feet Columbus TrailFest community!
Refuel at the Altra Trail MIx bar, and then join us after the hike and run at Watersedge where the first drink is on us!
This is a FREE event, but we do need you to register, please!
