Shalini Bhajjan  - Founder/Race Director, Running Coach, Ultra-Runner

Just lace up and go for a run, you won't regret it! ~ Shalini Bhajjan 

Things to know about me: 

I am the heart and soul of Terrain Trail Runners-STL, I've been a trail/ultra-runner since 2014 and February 4, 2014, was when Terrain Trail Runners came to life. It all started with the need to find others who run long distances and the itch/question: Why aren't there more trail ultras in St. Louis, MO? 
 

12 events later, rest is history!

Pertinent facts: Rockin' Rockwoods 53K and 1/2 Marathon was the first trail ultra I laid out the course for and race directed!
​I LOVE the course for Rockin' Rockwoods and everything about this race and I hope you'll find the challenge and beauty in the variations this course has to offer out of all the other races currently held here in St. Louis, MO!!! 


Want to know more about me?

Talk to me after you cross the finish line at one of our races or we can chat over a cold dark beer anytime!
