About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

This September, join us in the high country for a trail running retreat designed to build confidence—for race day and beyond it. Retreat leaders Addie Bracy, Rachel Entrekin, and Zach Hauer will bring their knowledge, expertise, and welcoming energy to guests. All ages, abilities, and experience levels are welcome!

Set among the quiet trails of Twin Lakes and Leadville, this immersive three-night experience includes daily workshops led by seasoned trail athletes and coaches. Our retreat leaders bring deep experience in race nutrition, long and overnight efforts, and mental performance, offering practical tools you can trust when the miles stretch long and the terrain gets real.

Each day unfolds with intention. Mornings include free time to go explore local trails with other attendees. Workshops follow—hands-on, thoughtful sessions that explore fueling strategies, mental resilience, pacing, and decision-making for long days (and nights) in the mountains.

Evenings bring shared meals, quiet conversations, and space to reflect on what you’re learning—about running, and about yourself.

You’ll leave with:

Greater confidence in fueling and hydration for long efforts
Practical strategies for mental focus during challenging moments
Experience moving efficiently on alpine trails
A renewed sense of connection—to the mountains and to your running
Camaraderie and new friendships
