RUN YOUR BODY - FEED YOUR SOUL
Key Retreats Costa Brava, an adventure of a lifetime.
Your retreat begins by heading directly north from Barcelona to the shores of the Mediterranean Sea in Sa Riera. Your villa sits right on the Coast near the Cami de Ronda (the trail that we will run in sections throughout the retreat) where you'll enjoy views of the sea over the negative edge pool with the beach below. 
 
As the sun rises, your day will begin with a short runners yoga with Jodi.  A late breakfast will be served and expect a running start time of around 9 or 10am. Your own private chef will provide regional dishes of paella, tapas and other local healthy meals throughout the week.

Your guided daily runs and hikes will cover various sections of the Cami de Ronda, a Coastal trail that runs through castles and small villages. The running is low key and because of the terrain it's a lot of hiking.

You'll enjoy a full day in Girona, one of the best towns in the area starting with a local guided run. Hiking is also an option.  We will run between 4 miles and 6 miles everyday with lots of stops for pictures and sightseeing and water. Expect 2-4 hours on your feet and on the longer days we'll stop for snacks (gelato is a favorite) and finish with lunch.



 
Each day will bring a different adventure, a new village, relaxation and exploration.  
 Grab a friend or come on your own and meet new ones, this week is going to combine all the things that bring us together, running, travel, yoga, great food, laughs and amazing people.
