Escape to the wilds of Maine for a limited-capacity trail running + wellness retreat designed to help you run stronger, recover faster, and reconnect with why you love being outside. Hosted by Maine Huts & Trails and Breaking Trail, you’ll spend two nights at the stunning Flagstaff Lake Hut, where everything is taken care of – cozy lodging, nourishing meals, and a full lineup of experiences designed to energize and restore.

Recharge with mindfulness meditation, invigorating cold plunges, and relaxing sauna sessions. In between, soak up the magic of the lake with boating, swimming, and laid-back downtime.
