Information

• WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT: This ladies only trail running/yoga retreat will include morning yoga sessions that will accommodate all levels with a certified yoga instructor. After yoga and breakfast at the picnic shelter we will separate into two different running groups. The beginner group will leave for a guided 3-5 mile beginner trail run through Ponderosa State Park, and the intermediate trail run group will leave for a 12 mile trail run (Loon Lake). Sunday will begin with a restorative yoga session, breakfast at the picnic shelter, and a short recovery run through Ponderosa State Park. Your entry fee includes yoga, guided trail runs, breakfast, lunch and snacks.


• I’M NOT THAT EXPERIENCED THOUGH: This retreat is aimed at all levels and there’s nothing more important to me than making your experience enjoyable and relaxing. Saturday’s yoga will focus on restorative stretching and poses will be basic and appropriate for all levels. Sunday’s yoga session will focus on hips, quads and great stretches and strength movements for runners. Running groups will be divided into beginner and intermediate/advanced runners. The beginner group will enjoy a 5-6 mile trail run (shorter or longer depending upon the group) through Ponderosa State Park, intermediate and advanced runners will enjoy a 12(ish) mile run to Loon Lake.


• I RUN BUT MY FRIENDS RIDE: If you wish to participate in this retreat with your friends but you are not a runner, we have plenty of mountain bike options. That’s the beauty of trail running and mountain biking, it’s easy for both disciplines to enjoy the same trail. Please keep in mind that the Loon Lake trail is for intermediate to advanced riders! The Loon Lake trail is a special treat, we will visit the crash site of a 1943 B-23 Bomber.


• BUT I DON’T WANT TO CAMP: No problemo! Ponderosa State Park is inside McCall city limits and there are plenty of reasonably priced hotels in McCall, Idaho this time of year.


• BUT I WANT TO SAVE MONEY: Again no problemo! We have rented the group cabins at Ponderosa State Park. These deluxe cabins are BEAUTIFUL and offer all amenities with running water, electricity, full bathroom amenities, bedding linens, and a kitchen with stove, refrigerator, pots and pans, and all utensils.   


• BUT I’M WAY HARDY AND I WANT TO PITCH A TENT: We have reserved the group camp at the park and there is a beautiful and clean bathroom with showers here. Trust me, you will love this place!


• AM I ALLOWED TO BRING ALCOHOL INTO THE STATE PARK: Uhmmm yes, this is a girl’s weekend after all! But don’t worry we will provide many options as well.
