Trail running camp for military veterans and Gold Star families is an introduction to a way to deal with stresses and depression while finding joy in the outdoors

On Veterans Day weekend, 20 military veterans and members of Gold Star families gathered to take part in a trail running camp put on by Band of Runners, a non-profit group formed by experienced ultra runners. The camp's aim was to introduce trail running to them to help them cope with stresses and find joy in the outdoors. For many who took part, the camp was a door to new things and better mental and physical well being.
