High Trails Trail Running Retreat

This event is a multi-day retreat in Buena Vista, Colorado, focused on trail running and hiking. It takes place from Thursday, July 9 to Sunday, July 12, 2026. The base is a riverside home near Main Street and local trails.

Daily trail adventures are offered, with distances ranging from 10 to 20 miles. The description notes that some participants will run, some will hike, and many will do a mix. A highlight is planned as a group hike to Hope Pass or a 14er in the Sawatch range, with the final itinerary dependent on campers and weather. The weekend concludes with a shorter shakeout run before departure.

Time off the trails includes shared meals, relaxing by the river, and enjoying the mountain town atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
