I started the women’s running retreat, Rise.Run.Retreat.four years ago with the intention of creating an experience that helped women gain confidence, find strength and make authentic connections through running.

We're headed into our fifth year and it has been amazing to see how Rise.Run.Retreat. has become one of the premier women's running retreats in the nation. This four-day retreat, based in New England is my passion project and I'm so excited for everything I have planned for 2020.

This year we will be returning to the Green Mountains of Vermont for our Spring Retreat May 14-17, 2020. Witnessing spring in Woodstock, Vermont is watching the world wake up from a deep slumber. The hills vibrant with every shade of green, the blush of dogwoods and cherry trees and colorful tulips in full bloom. This retreat is refreshes and renews in more ways than one.

We've added a NEW Fall Retreat October 1-4, 2020 in Maine.This retreat will follow the same format as our Spring Retreat as a small-scale, impactful experience. We'll stay in a private lodge on the shores of Long Lake in Naples, Maine right at peak foliage. You'll witness the leaves change and have the opportunity to run through gentle, wooded trails as well as rural roads.

I can imagine what it will be like at each of the retreats next year. I've done this enough to know that everyone will walk through the door feeling a little uncertain, unsure of whether they belong or what the experience will be like, and then over the course of four-days something changes. Connections are made, stories are shared, people feel seen and heard, and friendships form. It's really an honor to be witness to these experiences. Sometimes the running and the helpful information and the inspiration seem secondary to this special thing that happens over the course of the retreat, this special thing that we as human beings CRAVE and NEED: connection.
I hope you'll come connect with me at Rise.Run.Retreat. in 2020, there's a spot waiting for you.
