TNT & Power Hike

The TNT club hosts trail workouts and there are 3-group levels to choose from. Whether it be blazing ultra-speed, jogging, or power hiking, you will get a good workout. The pace is typically faster than most other groups at Griffith Park. The Monthly Plan is below.

Notes - Week #1 & #2: Power hikers are welcome. The weeks are for anyone trying a TNT workout for the first time. There are 3-groups to choose from & you can join a group that matches your current endurance level.

The Groups: G1 - Ultra Runners, G2 - Advance Runners, G3 - Power Hikers

Please know that the group's purpose is do a trail workout. Although the club is a friendly, social group, if you prefer walking, chatting, & stopping to take pictures, then the TNT is not a good fit for you.

Recommend: headlight, water bottle, windbreaker (cold nights), dress according to the weather temperature.
