Trail running as a practice of mindfulness, sacred exploration, and community connection.
At Haraka Trail, our purpose is to weave culture, spirit, and movement to cultivate a deeply connected and inclusive trail running community. We believe trail running is more than just physical movement—it’s a sacred practice that unities tradition, mindfulness, and the natural world.
We strive to inspire the next generation of trail runners by creating spaces where diverse backgrounds and spiritual traditions come together, empowering runners to explore not only trails but also their inner strength and purpose.
Through this fusion of culture and spirit with movement, we aim to nurture resilience, presence, and belonging—transforming every step on the trail into a journey of growth, connection, and transformation.

“A great athlete is one who takes advantage of the ability that genetics have brought him in order to secure great achievements, but an exceptional athlete is one who can swim in the waters of complexity and chaos, making what seems difficult easy, creating order from chaos. Creative individuals search for chaos in order to explore all the places they can imagine beyond the frontiers of consciousness, following the irrational forces that come from within themselves and from their environment”
— Kilian Jornet
