“This retreat far exceeded my expectations! It gave me an opportunity to learn where I can go with my running and I love connecting with all the awesome, inspiring women!”

–Maude B, Rochester, NY

“This retreat gave me a chance to escape from the daily pressures of life, and focus on me, what I want from my running practice and connecting with other women who love running. I learned how to use perceived exertion as a measure to guide me in my runs. It’s so easy to override what my body is telling me, and let numbers and data suck the joy out of running. Now I know how to get more satisfaction from how I feel than I ‘perform.’”

Joanne T., Spokane, WA

“This last week has been a dream. Run Wild Retreats put together a fantastic trail-running trip that improved my form and solidified a lot of what I’ve been thinking about running more mindfully.”
–Tracey S., Atlanta, GA

“I was concerned about going on a ‘scheduled’ vacation, but it didn’t feel scheduled at all. Everything was so well planned and coordinated, one experience just rolled into the next and I didn’t have to think about anything except having fun. I actually didn’t even realize anything was scheduled or coordinated, it just felt so organic, relaxed and fun!”
–Patricia J.

“It was a trip of a lifetime and I would encourage anyone to take a leap of faith and register for a retreat. I went alone and came away with lasting friendships and memories”
–Tracy S., Scottsdale, AZ

“The guides were great, accommodations were fantastic and trails were perfect and the workshops were well done.”
–Sharon C., Edgewater, MD

“By not tying my runs to definitive or quantitative markers like the number of miles run or the time per mile, I can enjoy more the spiritual aspect of my running. Letting go of “the admin side” allows me to be more present or mindful with each run. I have a renewed love for my running practice.”
–Sharon C., Edgewater, MD

“Run Wild Retreats offers a unique experience of learning more about running, exploring the great outdoors and embracing travel and adventure in a way I have not experienced before. Everything about the trip was well planned, organized and considerate to each runner’s needs.”
–Tracy S., Scottsdale, AZ

“I highly recommend the retreats! They are great way to energize your running and help with motivation. I heard several people mention how they usually run by themselves and they were surprised by how much fun it was to run in a group. I loved the energy of running in this group and it motivated me to run more.”
–Kathy B., Calgary, Canada

“The friendships between the runners grew each day. It was great fun. Delicious food.  Beautiful location. Energizing runs.  Wonderful, worthwhile adventure!”
–Kathy O., Los Gatos, CA

“I highly recommend Run Wild Retreats, they successfully organized the daily run routes, hotels, selected the best restaurants, and built-in discussions regarding culture, history and awareness. I left the retreat with new skills, a new mindset and was uplifted being around such an inspirational group of women. I have since applied this newfound knowledge in both running and in life.“
–Dana P.

“I loved being able to completely disconnect from a hectic and busy schedule, to focus on my running abilities, learning about a new culture and getting to know some amazing ladies.“
–Rebecca A.

“The Mediterranean retreat was my third retreat with Run Wild and I have never been disappointed! The accommodations, the food, the guides are all top notch. After two retreats in the US, I was excited to try an international retreat and my expectations were met a hundred fold. I loved the running and mindfulness workshops, the views, the food…but my favorite parts are the human connections. From the connections I made with the amazing and supportive women I was running with, to the fabulous local guides who shared their enthusiasm of their culture and country.“
–Mary C.

“The Mediterranean Retreat was my first retreat with Run Wild and I cannot recommend it enough! It was truly just such an eye opening and life changing experience as cheesy as that sounds.“
–Maureen S.

“The Mediterranean retreat was my 3rd retreat with RWR – how’s that for a recommendation! I can’t say enough about how terrific these trips are. They are so well planned, from the trail runs lead by local guides, to the beautiful hotels for overnight stays, to the amazing and delicious meals… everything is taken care of!“
–Pattie L.

“The women…. women who I knew nothing about quickly became my friends. People who nurtured the runner in me and the strong woman in me. I made life long friendships in Spain and it truly changed my perspective on life. I wish every woman had the opportunity to experience the power of this program.“

–Lindsay K.

“The women that you will meet and the true connections you will make during your adventure together are like no other. Women who attend Run Wild Retreats are hands down an awesome bunch, from all over, with different jobs and backgrounds, varying ages and places in life. We find commonality on the trail while we run miles, explore, reflect, work on mental and physical health and tell our stories to one another. I literally can’t recommend this experience enough. Choose a retreat and change your view, your perspective and improve your life.“
