There is something incredibly magical that happens when runners come together, united by an unspoken bond and shared authenticity. Each fall since 2015, my friend Sarah and I have been bringing an intimate group of female runners together at the annual Rise.Run.Retreat. This unique running retreat is founded on the idea that the connections we make through running can be life-changing. In fact, the retreat was inspired by the amazing bond and connection Sarah and I made together and with other runners simply from the miles we conquered and the words and feelings we shared about them.
