Lace up your trail shoes for the Wild Woman Trail Race Weekend, a celebrated women-focused running retreat held on June 20, 2026, in scenic Trout Lake, Washington. This event, which pioneered the all-women's marathon in the country back in 2012, offers an unforgettable experience for runners of all levels, with distances including a 50K, Marathon, Marathon Relay, and a Half Marathon. Experience trails winding through beautiful forests, fields, and mountain views in the shadow of Mt. Adams. The courses feature gentle forest paths and runnable terrain with no massive climbs, ensuring a challenging yet enjoyable run for participants. For instance, the 50K and Marathon courses involve approximately 1,900 feet of elevation gain and loss, primarily on dirt trails, while the Half Marathon provides a scenic and rolling introduction to trail racing.

The Wild Woman Trail Race Weekend is more than just a race; it's a supportive community gathering designed by women, for women. Runners will find fully stocked aid stations every 4-8 miles, offering water, electrolyte drinks, and snacks, though participants are encouraged to bring their own reusable cups as it's a cup-free event. Beyond the exhilarating courses, the weekend fosters a welcoming base camp atmosphere with communal camping, a legendary pre-race potluck, engaging guest speaker panels, post-run yoga sessions, and invigorating cold soak tubs for recovery. Typical race day conditions in late June bring comfortable highs around 80F and lows around 56F, with a minimal 2% chance of precipitation, creating ideal weather for an inspiring trail adventure.

Runners consistently praise the Wild Woman Trail Race Weekend for its positive energy, supportive volunteers, and breathtaking trails, making it an ideal event to push limits, forge friendships, and celebrate achievements. Whether you're tackling your first ultra, aiming for a personal best, or enjoying the camaraderie of a relay, this weekend promises an empowering and memorable trail running experience.
