In partnership with Altra Running, the Altra Trail Running Grant takes runners brand-new to trail running and surrounds them with everything needed to show up strong on race day at the Juneteenth Half Marathon & 10K. Now in its second year, the 2026 Altra Trail Running Grant trained a cohort of four grantees through a 12-week block with Altra shoes & apparel, fuel & strength stipends, and PT access.
The grant is about more than just race day. It’s about building confidence, providing awareness and access to a sport that hasn’t always felt open, and standing with runners while they grow into it. Their journey from training start to race day was documented through a series of short form videos posted to Altra & RunJuneteenth social channels.
Thanks to Altra Running for making this possible.
Applications for the 2027 grant will be announced here and on Instagram.
