We build retreats around the world's best race weekends. You come, pick a distance — 5K, 10K, half, full (or just support!) — and then instead of flying home stiff and sunburnt, you stay with a fun group and celebrate. We recover with movement and excursions, eat great food, dance on the beach, and more.
What Is SALTY Strides
SALTY Strides takes the SALTY retreat you already love — the coaching, the community, the radically hospitable hosts — and wraps it around a destination race. Pick your distance or just join for the vibes. We handle the rest: the bib, the base, the shakeout runs, the people you'll be hugging at the finish line.
Race weekend comes first — a base close to the start line, zero logistics stress on race mornings. Then the good part. Sometimes we decamp — beach, lake, mountain, wherever the good stuff is. Sometimes the city is the good stuff and we stay put. Either way, the week after the race is for recovery, adventure, and the kind of nights that become the story you tell for years. Your running accomplishments deserve to be celebrated.
