Beautiful Scenery and guided runs, Luxurious accommodations, Wonderful + Inspiring women and Handcrafted Food await you.
Women's Trail Running Retreat at Whitefish sets the space for you to take time for yourself. Something we'll all need this year:)
RUN YOUR BODY - FEED YOUR SOUL
Breathtaking views await you during your 4 day/3night stay at The Luxury Homes of Whitefish Lake Lodge. Nature will surround you and the women who come will inspire you. Life, especially right now is crazy and wonderful and overwhelming. Key Retreats carves out the space for you to step away from the possible chaos at home, isolation and check in with yourself and breathe. Your guided daily runs will explore the whitefish trail system. Many of the trails are low in elevation but there will be one Mountain run. We'll meet you wherever you are and help you get to wherever you want to be.
Trail Running guides Courtney and Ultra athlete Emily Linton will lead 2 groups (groups divided by pace and distance) through the miles and miles of the Whitefish Trail System. You will also have to option to go to Glacier on one of the days and explore on your own or in small groups. We will not be guiding a run in the park but will have a guided run in town for those who stay that day.
Keeping with Social Distancing etiquette, this retreat will hold a maximum of 12 attendees with 5-6 people per luxury home. We will not bring in any outside presenters for this retreat and all food will still be nutritious and delicious but will be made ahead and brought in to the homes as we will not have a chef on site.
WHO IS THIS FOR
Women looking to feel inspired through nature, running, yoga, mindfulness, nutrition, motivation ideas and other great women. Do you need to be a runner? For this retreat we'll be running 4 up to 14 miles. No one thinks they are a runner but if you run you're a runner. We'll have 2 groups for different paces but if you can run a 10:00 mile on your easy runs you're good to go! If you're looking to catch up with girlfriends and yourself, this retreat is for you.

Meet The Team
Courtney Babcock
I started these retreats to bring women together under the mutual interest of running. During our first retreat many women had never been away from their kids or taken time to be with their friends on a different level, just taking time for themselves. Our motto was self care, as busy life gets in the way. My hope is that you leave feeling a little more inspired, having laughed a little more, being a little more in nature and feeling like a little better you.
Quick Bio:
I am a former pro, Olympian, Masters World Champ but don't let that intimidate you I love passing on the knowledge I gained from being able to not just train but travel the world and work with the best coaches and physios in the sport.
