relax and recharge for the year ahead

Why New England in the winter?

Winter in New England is dormant. Everything that bloomed, lush and wild and green is gone. It’s barren and cold.

But there’s beauty in the bare branches, in the quiet, and in the dark. There are lessons in the rest and peace that winter provides. It’s exactly the time of year when you should be turning inward taking time to reset and reconnect with your why.

Which is why we’re inviting you to this cozy getaway to refresh and renew yourself for the year ahead.

Designed for anyone with wellness or run-related business, we’re inviting you to join us for a weekend getaway that will allow you to unplug, relax, and be inspired by our guest speaker and round table discussions with fellow entrepreneurs who understand what it’s like to be the engine behind it all.

Meet your Guest Speaker

  • Erin Holt is the founder and CEO of The Funk'tional Nutritionist, an online functional medicine clinic and education platform. In addition to leading multiple online nutrition & functional medicine programs, Erin is the founder of the Funk’tional Nutrition Academy practitioner training and mentorship. You can alsofind Erin rabble-rousing on the The Funk’tional Nutrition Podcast, a weekly show dedicated to all things health, mindset and entrepreneurship. Honoring all three is how she has built a 7 figure company without selling her soul, losing her integrity or sacrificing her health. It’s Erin’s mission to help other women do the same.

  • Jami Crist considers herself a positive disruptor with reckless optimism. Prior to joining Renegade, she spent over a decade in marketing at brands such as Under Armour and Super Coffee She carved her own path in the growing brand of Under Armour in several roles including event management, social media strategy, brand, and sports marketing. In her role as the Sports Marketing Director for the run category at UA, she led the global strategy for all things running. She played a pivotal role in transforming awareness for the brand, turning Under Armour Run into one of the top-running brands in the industry.

    As one of the only few female sports marketing reps within the run industry, she strived to knock down barriers by helping other females in their careers, professional development, and life. During my time at UA, she joined the Renegade Collective in 2019 which helped me to create my own brand and story. After Under Armour, she joined the growing brand Super Coffee as the Senior Director of Partnerships + Investor Relations, earning “Best Brand of the Year” in 2021 by BEVNet.

    Looking back on her career as a young woman in a male-dominated industry, Jami has found herself asking if there is a better way, which is where she finds herself today: in pursuit of a holistic and more intuitive path toward success. Jami’s superpower is to build a thoughtful understanding of how to connect with people in an authentic and meaningful way.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Accommodations at our 4-day retreats are usually at luxury private homes with single and double and multi-occupancy available on a first come first serve basis. Our 3-day retreats often feature rustic, lodge-like accommodations with double and single occupancy.

  • The cancelation deadline for each retreat is 90-days before the retreat start date. Prior to the cancelation deadline, registered participants can receive a refund less a $500 non-refundable deposit. Because of the investment of time and money into planning the retreat and securing lodging, guest speakers etc., we are unable to issue any refunds after the cancelation deadline of 90-days prior to the retreat start date.

  • We require a negative COVID test within 72 hours arrival to participate in our retreats.

  • We believe that running is a transformative act for everyone who chooses to participate. We welcome runners of all ages and abilities. For group runs we divide into pace groups and make sure that no one runs alone. We believe that everyone belongs at Rise.Run.Retreat.

  • Group runs are anywhere from 3-6 miles on varied terrain. At each of our retreats, we plan for a combination of road, trail and rural dirt road runs. For those following a training plan, there are options to run longer when needed.

  • The biggest difference is the length of the retreat and the fact that our 3-day retreat does not feature outside guest speakers and is facilitated by Rise Run Retreat founder and host, Sarah Canney and Rise Run Retreat staff.

  • This varies based on our location, but typically the closest airports are

    Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (MHT) Manchester, NH

    Portland International Airport (PWM) Portland, Maine

    Boston Logan International Airport (BOS)

    Burlington International Airport (BTV) Burlington, VT

    The retreat does not provide transportation to and from the airport but assists attendees with coordinating carpool and rideshare with other attendees.
