TROUT LAKE — Women are finding their strides in the ultra-running world these days, what with Camille Heron smashing 12 world distance records at Lululemon’s Further, Jasmin Paris finishing as the first female ever to complete the Barkley Marathon, and Courtney Dauwalter stunning the world with her Triple Crown wins of Hardrock Hundred, Western States Endurance Run, and the Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc.
It’s an exciting time to be a trail runner right now — especially for women.
The Wild Woman Marathon (50K, Relay, and Half) in Trout Lake, Wash., has been inspiring female runners to push their limits for the past twelve years. This year, the Wild Woman — to be held on June 22 — is thrilled to announce that girls under 18 are invited to run the Wild Woman for free! Whatever distance you want.
The relay is a great opportunity especially for those who are relatively new to trail running or who simply want to turn their trail run into a team adventure.
“I signed up for the half and then on the day before the race, felt overcome with a sense of possibility and asked to switch to the marathon,” reflected runner Ashley Gramolini. “I felt so nervous, but in the spirit of the wild woman, ran it with joy in my heart. It was my first ever trail race and I loved every second.”
The Wild Woman is a trail run created by and for women. It will be held on Saturday, June 22nd this year. Stay for the day or make it a weekend. Runners, their friends and families can camp (RV, tent or under the stars) in a big field at the base of Mt. Adams. After the run, hangout with your friends, rejuvenate with post-run yoga, cold tub soaks in the orchard, and refuel with some outrageous burritos.
