Wild Woman Trail Runs
Wild Woman Trail Runs is an all women trail running weekend held at the base of Mt. Adams in Trout Lake, Washington, in the Columbia River Gorge. The event is organized as a multi-day retreat with camping included and encouraged; families may attend.
Distances offered include:
- 50k Ultra
- Marathon
- Half Marathon
- Relay Team: relay legs from 4.6 to 8 miles
The marathon course runs through Pacific Northwest forest and crosses multiple mountain streams, with aid stations positioned along the route. Relay teams divide the marathon course into shorter sections. The 50k distance is listed for runners seeking an ultramarathon option.
The weekend includes programmed activities alongside the races: speaker panels, workshops, post-run lunch and pizza, and recovery features such as cold soak tubs. The event emphasizes community support at aid stations and campsite life during the race weekend. Wild Woman began in 2012 as the first all women marathon or 50k event in the country and continues to organize races and retreats focused on women trail runners.
