REGISTRATION IS LIVE!
RUN WILD Women’s Takeover weekends are BACK AGAIN in 2025! These event are dedicated to fostering empowerment, inclusivity, and camaraderie among women of all ages and abilities. This gathering aims to create a safe space where participants can challenge themselves, connect with nature, and form lasting bonds. This weekend welcomes ALL women, non-binary folks, and anyone whose gender aligns with this this type of event. Join us!
What’s the running pace going to be like?
What if I’m SUPER FAST? Or what if I prefer the PARTY-PACE at the back of the pack?
All paces are welcome! We assume the folks at the front of the pack leading the runs will be moving along at around 12.5 minute miles. If you’re faster than that, and can read a map, you’re more than welcome to keep pushing ahead! We’ll also have sweep runners at the back of all the groups to make sure that no one rocking slower paces gets left behind. <3
And there’s no minimum or maximum involvement… you might run with every group run, or take some extra time to hike, hot-tub, or hang out. This is YOUR weekend to RUN WILD, however you like it!
