You have the choice of running 4 to 12 miles, with rest stops along the way for eating, drinking and soaking up the views.

I would love to do this!!!! We’re in Europe till 2013, but please keep me posted on your retreats. I will actually send this info to my husband, maybe he can “surprise” me with this as a birthday gift.
Do you offer military discounts? We’re military and he’s in Afghanistan as I write this.
Thanks,
