Snowshoe Running Camp with Sarah Canney

“It is hard to pick one thing. I loved the snow and weather, the rustic setting…but what I will carry with me the longest after this weekend are the relationships that were started. As an adult, it is so hard to cultivate new friendships, but these retreats provide those opportunities.”

-Janelle M.

Sarah’s Snowshoe Running Story

Sarah started snowshoe running on a whim, in search of something to tide her through the cold New England winters, Sarah showed up for a race and was immediately hooked. Sarah climbed the ranks of the snowshoe running world at a local and national level, finishing third at the 2018 National Championships and then working her way to the podium with a bronze medal at the 2020 World Snowshoe Running Championships in Myoko, Japan.

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.
