Can I attend if I am not an experienced trail runner?

​

Absolutely. Our retreat is designed for a variety of fitness levels + ages. We recommend having the baseline ability to run 3 miles at a low key pace.

What is the altitude like + how should I prepare for it?

 

Our retreat in Whitefish, Montana, is situated at an elevation of approximately 3,028 feet. This lower elevation provides a comfortable environment for guests to acclimate easily. Our planned activities will primarily occur between 4,000 and 6,000 feet, with some hikes reaching elevations up to 7,000 feet, allowing participants to experience the diverse and breathtaking landscapes of the region. To ensure a smooth transition, our itinerary is thoughtfully designed to facilitate gradual acclimation from the moment you arrive. Additionally, we will be sending out preparation tips to all attendees in the weeks leading up to the retreat.

How do I get to Whitefish, Montana?

​

For those traveling from Newark, NJ, flights into Glacier Park International Airport (FCA) in Kalispell require one connection on various airlines. 

​

On your return, similar connecting flights are available back to Newark. We recommend booking flights that coordinate with our retreat schedule to enjoy seamless airport transfers. Please note that ride-sharing services like Uber are limited in the Whitefish area, but we’ve got you covered—transportation for group activities and airport transfers is included throughout your stay.

Meals are included from breakfast through dinner and trail snacks for your entire retreat - excluding one (optional) group dinner on the final night. Dietary preferences, allergies, etc and adjustments will absolutely be accommodated.

Are there any non-running activities planned during the retreat?​

​

Absolutely. From hikes, to yoga, to boxing and a variety of non-movement based activities, the itinerary is curated with a well-rounded experience in mind. 

How much free time will there be in the schedule?

​

There will be available free time each day at different points during the day for you to choose to utilize however you would like. Please keep in mind this is an adventure retreat - being active does play a primary role in the itinerary each day, but with that in mind, the days will be designed to include adequate downtime and restorative moments. 

Do I need special gear or equipment for the trail runs? ​

​

We recommend trail running shoes for traction and support purposes, which can also be used for hiking. 

What is the cancellation policy? ​

​

Once you register and commit to your spot on the retreat, the $1,000 deposit is non-refundable. Given that we are a boutique retreat with a limited number of spots for guests all transactions are final; however, with that being said, we understand emergencies can arise that are unforeseen, which will be discussed on a case by case basis to make it fair to all parties - if plenty of time is given and we are able to fill the spot, there are transferrable options that can be considered.

Are you offering payment plans for the retreat? ​

​

Yes, ultimately if you feel called to be a part of this retreat experience, we are here to help make it happen for you. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us to discuss payment plan options. 

Is this an all-inclusive retreat?​

​

Yes it is (please see the retreat breakdown page for details) - as a guest of our boutique luxury retreat experience, once you arrive at the Kalispell airport, we take care of the rest until the moment you board the plane on the final retreat morning to fly home. Our itinerary is curated to give you the ultimate Western luxury adventure experience from day 1 for the most epic memories.
