FALL RETREAT

OCTOBER 14-17, 2021

WOLFEBORO, NEW HAMPSHIRE | ABENAKI LAND

LOCATION

Nestled along the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee, Wolfeboro's quaint waterfront village serves as the backdrop to our weekend. Retreat attendees will have the opportunity to run along the lake side rail trail, which intersects with two other lakes and explore rural roads. At the conclusions of the weekend, attendees will get a bird's eye view of the lake from a local mountain during our sunrise hike. Within walking distance of the village center, our location will give attendees access to cafes, breweries and shops while providing access to quiet places perfect for reflection and escape.

FAQ

What if I am not a fast runner?

​

We believe that running is a transformative act for everyone who chooses to participate. We welcome runners of all ages and abilities. For group runs we divide into pace groups and make sure that no one runs alone. We believe that everyone belongs at Rise.Run.Retreat. 

 

How far are the group runs?

​

Group runs are anywhere from 3-6 miles on varied terrain. At each of our retreats, we plan for a combination of road, trail and rural dirt road runs. For those following a training plan, there are options to run longer when needed.

​

What is the best airport to fly into?

​

The closest airports include:​

  • Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (MHT) Manchester, NH (80 min drive)

  • Portland International Airport (PWM) Portland, Maine (90 min drive)

  • Boston Logan International Airport (1 hr 50 min drive)

​

What are the accommodations like?
