A Guided Wilderness Run Adventure For Women

Get ready for an unforgettable 17-mile wilderness trail run led by the Wild Woman guides — now open for registration! This is not a race, but a one-day, fully guided trail running adventure designed to build confidence, connection, and mountain running skills. You’ll spend the day moving together through the breathtaking Indian Heaven Wilderness in southwestern Washington, following a point-to-point route with a no-drop policy so no one runs alone. The trails here are a dream — soft and forgiving underfoot, winding past alpine lakes, open meadows, volcanic blast zones, and forests dotted with huckleberries and mushrooms. It’s the perfect setting for a day of pure trail joy, shared with women who love taking up space in wild places. Limited to 22 women due to wilderness permit restrictions — spots will go fast.

What Are Wilderness Adventure Runs?

Wild Women Wilderness Adventures are small-group, guide-led mountain runs designed to teach, inspire, and connect. They’re part trail run, part confidence-builder, part nature immersion — and 100% joy. Because it is hard knowing where to start. That’s why we’re offering the stepping stone you need to embark on more trail running adventures. Our Wilderness Adventure Runs provide the planning, logistics, education, and supportive community to build your confidence to take on your own wild running dreams.

What To Expect

Your adventure starts well before run day. Once you register, you’ll receive educational materials to help you prepare for a wilderness trail run — including what to pack, how to think about fueling, and tips for moving confidently in remote terrain. A few days before the run, we’ll gather virtually to go over final logistics, answer questions, and meet fellow participants. On September 7th, we’ll meet at 7:00 a.m. at Post Office Coffee in Trout Lake, WA. From there, we’ll caravan a short distance to the trailheads. The run is open to all abilities. Expect relaxed regroup points where we’ll forage huckleberries, take in the views, and ensure everyone has clear directions at every trail junction. We’ll finish the day back in Trout Lake, sharing stories and celebrating with a pizza dinner.
