Introducing
Our Founder
Laura founded MY URBAN TRAIL amidst the 2020/21 Coronavirus pandemic. With cities in lockdown, calendar plans scratched and workload causing increased anxiety, Laura soon found a new love for the outdoors in a search for escapism.
Exploring the alluring landscapes on her doorstep in Derbyshire, she traded in her blazers & tapered trousers for waterproofs & leggings.
Refusing to sacrifice her love of style for comfort (not to mention the usual hefty price tags), Laura found it incredibly difficult to find anything that met her needs and desires in outdoorwear.
Whether walking or trail running, Laura also discovered the amazing mental and ofcourse physical benefits getting outside had to offer. She wanted to spread the word and help others through what she loved...this is when the journey of MY URBAN TRAIL began.
So after a year in the planning, she took that leap and devoted herself to fulfilling the mission of giving women what they deserve.
MY URBAN TRAIL has since won ONLINE RETAIL START-UP OF THE YEAR 2022 as well as being chosen as one of Theo Paphitis' SBS Winners!
So here's to the future and continueing to spread our the word and help more women feel amazing in the outdoors.
