Run Wild Retreats & Run Pretty Far

6/27/2012 posted by Jenn

Two years ago when my brain first started buzzing over with ideas for Run Pretty Far, I remember thinking how amazing it would be to take a group of women to a lodge and spend the weekend trail running, mix in a little yoga, some massage, talking, good food, and red wine. There was no way this wouldn’t be incredibly powerful and ridiculously fun.

Luckily for me – a smart lady named Elinor Fish was already on it. Elinor is the former editor in chief of Trail Runner magazine and a veteran ultra-runner and I have been drooling over her gorgeous retreats for several years. Recently, Greg contacted Elinor about sending me there for ‘summer camp’, then she and I started talking about all the connections between our philosophies, and an exciting partnership was formed!

We are thrilled to be sponsoring Run Wild Retreats for the August 16-19 Trail Running & Wellness Retreat in Carbondale, CO.    

Here are the details about this event. Start your dreaming….

Three nights’ accommodation at Avalanche Ranch in the Crystal River Valley at the base of Mount Sopris.
• Nourishing, gourmet meals from Thursday dinner through Sunday brunch.
• Wine and cheese welcome reception on Thursday evening.
• Two rejuvenating yoga classes designed specifically for runners
