More Than Miles
More than Miles. Run away to find yourself!
March 25-28, 2023 (March 29 optional add on day)
Come enjoy the Southern Utah desert with us! This is a 4-day, 3-night retreat (with an option to add on a 4th night for a small additional cost) taking place just outside of Zion National Park. We are holding space for 12-14 amazing women to explore, run, and relax with us. Come alone and book a solo room or share with a friend. We also have bunk rooms if you want a more affordable option!
​
What will you experience at this retreat?
If you have ever wanted to visit Southern Utah like a local, this is your chance. Let us take you to beautiful places while you bond with incredible women. We'll make sure you get some running in, coaching with Kathy, stretch your body with restorative yoga, pause and reflect in your journal, take time to meditate and of course eat delicious food. The retreat house is comfortable and spacious for hanging out. But the bonus is that it has a private hot tub, as well as a large clubhouse with a gym, pool and rec room just across the street. Are you training for an event or just want to get extra runs in? There are endless trails just across from the retreat house in the Red Cliffs National Conservation area (this is also an endangered tortoise preserve!). ​If you have any questions reach out to Kathy (kathy@kathypughrunning.com)

Meet Your Hosts
Kathy and Shanti met just before the world came to a halt at a running retreat hosted by Shanti in southern Utah in early March 2020. From that moment, the two knew they would join forces and bring women together on healing journeys in the desert. This spring will be the first of many future retreat the two hope to host together!
