All meals will be provided for the weekend! We will be using all local produce and whole foods to provide the most wholesome nutrition possible. For those interested in plant based eating, we will be doing a unique focus on those options throughout the weekend. All meals will be prepared in a demonstration setting by Lauren, our Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, for you to learn the preparation and cooking techniques if interested.
Our fall 2022 Blue Ridge Relay & Retreat was so great, WE'RE DOING IT AGAIN!
This will include the 208 mile relay along the Blue Ridge Parkway, from Grayson Highlands to Asheville, NC. We'll have a team of 12 female runners who will have three segments a piece, totaling 16-20 miles per person. As you run along the parkway, the rest of the team will be cheering you along from the support vans! This will be an unbelieve experience, making lasting memories and friendships as you push yourself along the miles.
Our retreat house will be located just outside ASHEVILLE, NC so that we can experience everything the city has to offer with our pre-race festivities! You can expect beautiful views, cozy beds, and hot tub for post race soaking. We'll be feeding you all the delicious and nutrition meals and snacks, at the house and along the road during the relay. You'll just need to pack your running gear and go get'em attitude!
