GET THOSE RAIN JACKETS READY, LADIES!

Don't forget your bathing suits - we might find some hot springs! This retreat includes as much laughter and recharging as it does rucking glorious mountains!

Join us April 19 - 23 for five days focused on wellness, camaraderie, wilderness badassery, mountain rucks, sight-seeing, pampering, and more. 

Toughness Level: 4/5

(4/5 means there will be opportunities to do hard work defined by what's hard for YOU and new opportunities outside your comfort zone. This score means you should have a foundation of rucking and strength training. All workouts and challenges will be tailored to suit every fitness level.)

Colleen Flaherty 

Hometown: New Hill, NC
Time rucking: 2 years

Bio: Colleen is a nature junkie who can't get enough of spending time outside in the wilds of Mother Earth! She never says no to an outdoor activity although strength training with odd objects, sand, and rucking is her favorite!

As the founder of Rucking Women, her support of women has been a lifelong journey. Starting in her teens as a soccer player, soccer coach at 16, then certified personal trainer at 23. She coached pregnant women and moms for 10 years before starting her rucking group MotherRuckersNC and training women outdoors on her and her fiance's property. 

Even though fitness is how she outwardly supports women, Colleen is also passionate about personal growth and emotional awareness.

When she's not working or playing outside, Colleen is a fur mom to 2 dogs and 2 cats! Her boyfriend Waylon is a semi-professional wrestler and cigar/pipe rep. She loves fantasy thriller, historical, and mystery novels, all types of tea, and learning to play D&D with her all-lady group.
