Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of eastern Tennessee’s mountains with Misfit Mountain Athletics for an unforgettable Trail Running Retreat + Wilderness Adventure. This three-day retreat is designed to cater to intermediate to advanced runners who are eager to explore challenging terrain and enhance their skills on technical trails.
Starting from Jonesborough, TN—the oldest town in Tennessee—participants will have the chance to run through stunning Appalachian landscapes and Roan Highlands. The pace of each day’s adventure ranges between 5-10 miles, with distances adjusted according to the group's collective ability level. Multiple guides ensure that every runner can find a comfortable effort level throughout the retreat.
The weekend is packed with opportunities for personal growth and community building. Alongside guided runs through scenic trails, participants will learn essential skills such as trail safety, navigation techniques, basic survival methods, proper fueling strategies, and recovery practices. Yoga sessions are also scheduled to complement your physical training and enhance flexibility and mobility.
Accommodations in Jonesborough include hotel rooms either shared or private upon request, ensuring a comfortable stay amidst the historic charm of this small mountain town. All meals and snacks are provided throughout the retreat, offering an opportunity for group dining experiences that foster camaraderie among participants.
Led by Lauren—a seasoned endurance coach with extensive experience in adventure sports—the retreat promises not only physical challenges but also mental and emotional growth through meaningful wilderness experiences. Whether you’re a novice adventurer or an experienced athlete looking to refine your skills, this event offers something unique and enriching for everyone involved.
