Trail Running & Wellness Retreat Photos

A group of amazing women assembled at Vagabond Ranch for the inaugural Trail Running & Wellness Retreat for Women was held on July 30 to August 1, 2010.

We were lucky with fabulous weather and dry trails (well, except for Friday night's soggy mud run).

Yoga instructor Wendy Kennedy leads the group through a series of strengthening and lengthening yoga poses for runners.










Sparkle and Jodi enjoy the sweet singletrack between Lost Lake at the Wolverine Trail.




















After practising technical trail-running techniques on the rocky trail around Lost Lake, we take a relaxing break beside the water before a swift jaunt back down to the trail head.
















Dana, Jane, Megan and Kimberly enjoy a water break on the Wolverine Trail. This day's 10-miler was a highlight of the weekend, taking our group of women of diverse running backgrounds--from "occasional" runners to others who have completed ultramarathons--to a spectacular ridge at 11,500 feet.
