ARC’TERYX LAUNCHES INAUGURAL ‘GROUNDWORK’ PROGRAM

May 27, 2026

Arc’teryx has announced Groundwork, a new city-to-trail running program designed to help urban runners build the skills and confidence needed to transition from roads to trails.

Launching this summer in New York City, Los Angeles, Portland, and Montréal, the eight-week program combines structured training plans, educational coaching, community runs, and local leadership. Participants will receive Arc’teryx’s Norvan LD 4 trail running shoe as part of registration.

The program culminates on August 8 with “The Summit,” a guided trail experience focused on exploration, stewardship, and trail running education. Registration opens June 3, with 600 total spots available across the four cities.
