Women Magazine Exposé on Trail Running’s Growing Popularity

The latest issue of Women magazine, an inspiring magazine about women’s wellness, health and happiness, features an article about Run Wild Retreats, including photos of last year’s event.

In the story, author Diana Price explains why trail running is growing in popularity, particularly among women. “In addition to providing a sense of accomplishment and the physical reward of increased fitness, trail running can function as an invaluable stress-management tool for women increasingly striving to balance career and family,” she wrote.

When she asks me about the principles behind Run Wild Retreats, I explain that my motivation was to introduce other women to the joys inherent in the sport. “For me, trail running gives an opportunity to to meditate, take a break from the day, spend time in nature and feel incredibly empowered. I wanted to introduce other women to the joy of running so they could feel the same things.”
