Yosemite and Mammoth Lakes Trail Running Runcation

Description:

Join us for our long weekend Runcation in California’s Sierra Nevada for our Yosemite, Mammoth Lakes, and Eastern Sierra trail running vacation. This high altitude itinerary delivers some of the best running in California on this 4-day long weekend running retreat. Our runs will take place in California’s Eastern Sierra, stretching from our base in Mammoth Lakes, to the gateway to Yosemite National Park bordering the high country of Yosemite’s Toulumne. Throughout the weekend our trail runs will take place in valleys with rising granite cliffs, bordering Yosemite’s high country, high-desert landscape through sagebrush-lined trails at the foot of snow-capped peaks, more lakes than you can count, and the spectacular fall foliage in some of the best locations in the Sierra.

Our afternoons and evenings afford plenty of time for guided adventures to hot springs, swimming in alpine lakes and beaches, afternoon hikes, and special afternoon running workshops including how to prepare for trail runs, sports nutrition, and strength training tips for trail runners. We also have a special guest professional running photographer that will capture both individual photos of participants and the group so that you can take away special memories from this Runcation. We get off the beaten tourist path as much as possible on this adventure to provide a California wilderness trail running adventure during the day, with comfortable evenings at a mountain lodge during the evenings. Options for activities like yoga, beer/wine tasting, lounging in the fresh mountain air, and sports massage are available in Mammoth Lakes as well.
