Serene Desert Beauty | Guided Mindful Running | Award-Winning Luxury Resort | Gourmet Meals | Spa Massage
Immerse yourself in the unique landscape of the Sonoran Desert during this four-day, three night all-inclusive retreat designed just for women who love to run as part of their self-care and stress management. From the moment you arrive at the award-winning JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn Resort & Spa, you'll feel yourself start to unwind and slow down. The Camelback Inn's luxury accommodations are inspired by nature and designed to promote relaxation and restoration, making it the ideal base for this retreat.
We've selected trails that best showcase the Sonoran Desert's impeccable beauty, rewarding singletrack trails and unique features, such as giant saguaro cacti. You'll cruise along soft, sandy trails that meander through gently rolling hills. While it's not necessary to have trail running experience to participate in this retreat, you should be able to comfortably run at least 8 or so miles on the road and feel comfortable on ground that is uneven, at times rocky. The time on trail ranges from about one to 2.5 hours, including photo stops, water breaks and such. The pace is relaxed and social, so you don't have to be fast!
Your expert retreat leader is facilitates your overall experience, providing mindful running techniques that will help you gain confidence and comfort on these rewarding trails. We balance each day with free time in the afternoons to relax, restore and recover. You'll have plenty of time to lounge by the pool and savor the spa massage experience included with your retreat package.
You'll also enjoy daily wellness classes and gourmet meals featuring regionally inspired and wellness-focused menus. This small group experience is limited to just 14 women and will leave you feeling rejuvenated and inspired.
