Desert Highlights Trail Running Camp

Join us for a long weekend in the colorful desert landscape of Western Colorado!

We've modeled this retreat after our popular high alpine fall retreat at Tumbling River ranch and it has been a huge success!

We will be exploring trails through vast canyons, beneath towering monoliths, hidden arches and a sweeping landscape that goes on for miles.

Over 4 days and 3 nights join local trail and ultra running coaches as we guide you through special clinics and challenging runs.

The best part? Our base camp is located at the best resort in the heart of Colorado wine country!

The Wine Country Inn is located in Palisade, Colorado and nestled among over 21 acres of working vineyards which produce world-class grapes that are crushed and bottled as a private label wine for guests to enjoy. The Victorian- style inn is a short drive or bike ride from over twenty wineries and numerous vineyards, orchards, and farms.

With spectacular views, endless amenities and exceptional service this is THE place to stay when visiting and recreating in Western Colorado!

Locations include but not limited to Colorado National Monument, Fruita, Loma and the Grand Mesa. Plan on being out and active most of the day, all activities are voluntary and there will be pacers and options for those looking for longer/shorter excursions.

Including but not limited to.....

Did someone say Wine?!?
