Newry, Maine
This is a beginner to intermediate level trail running retreat. We will be going on daily trail runs to explore the areas and many of these trails are mountainous and technical by nature. Two of our runs will be more "runnable" with the rest being steep climbs up and back down. The views are worth all the challenge on this retreat!
All of our trail runs are optional and merely suggestions to join in on the fun and adventure. At any point you can opt out of a run if you are not confident in your ability, or want to shorten the route to make it easier. Some of the routes will have secondary routes to make them shorter or less challenging.
In total for the five days there will be 30-40 miles scheduled with the option to run shorter or further. About 9,000 feet of elevation gain is included in those miles.
Our most challenging day will be an 8 mile route with 3,800 feet of climbing/ 3,800 feet of descent.
This is a great retreat to use as a training if you are signed up for any summer mountain races! With lots of opportunities for more climbing as well as running.
Fully plant based catering will also be included with registration cost. Not plant based or vegan but curious to try it out? No worries! There will be many meal options and substitutes for the meals to make them your own. You are also welcome to purchase your own foods from the local grocery store and cook for yourself using the communal kitchen if you do not want to have the included meals.
There will be a mandatory gear list that will be sent our prior to the retreat via email.
All attendees must fly in to the Portland International Jetport (PWM) where they will be picked up and taken to the lodge. It is about a two hour drive to get there from the airport. All instructions will be sent to your email after registration.
The full trip itinerary will be shared with each guest after registration.
The full meal list will also be shared so you can plan accordingly if you want to cook any meals for yourself. Please let us know if you have any additional dietary restrictions and we will do our best to accommodate for you!
