We Support Strong Women
Every year we choose a local non-profit to support.
Meet this year’s Guest Speakers
Don’t miss them on Friday evening at 4:30 pm for a panel discussion, Q&A and social. Don’t forget to bring your favorite pre-run potluck dish!
Rachel Entrekin
Rachel is a physical therapist from Alabama who’s quietly (and then very loudly) taken the ultrarunning world by storm. She’s the current women’s course record holder at the Cocodona 250 and has racked up eight 100-mile wins in just two years—yet still calls herself a “blonde idiot” on her blog.
Rachel brings heart, humor, and humility to every mile (and the occasional quick piano performance).
Sarah Allaben
Sarah lives and runs in Trout Lake, WA, where she works with Mt. Adams Resource Stewards as a Fire Adapted Communities Coordinator. She ran her first ultra at Wild Woman and has since gone on to win races like the Gorge Waterfalls 50k—all while staying refreshingly grounded.
Whether managing prescribed burns or pushing through long climbs, Sarah leads with quiet strength and deep connection to the land she calls home.
Our Yoga Instructors Are Wild Women Too
Susie Rivard
Formally an elite road marathoner, Susie hung up her road shoes in 2020 and decided to focus her time on trail running and adventuring instead. Her secondary love of yoga has not only provided her a counterbalance to her outdoor pursuits, but it has also evolved into a foundation for her entire life. Susie is a RYT-200 certified teacher, and she lives in White Salmon, where she enjoys frolicking on the incredible local trails and teaching at Yoga Samadhi.
Susie teaches yoga at 11:00 am on Saturday June 21st.
Johanna Siskar
Born in Peru and based in the Pacific Northwest, Johanna Siskar is a long-time yoga teacher, breathwork and meditation guide, and global retreat leader. With more than 25 years of experience, her teaching blends alignment-focused yoga with practices that reconnect students to joy, resilience, and inner strength. Johanna is passionate about helping others rediscover their brilliance through movement, mindfulness, and self-compassion. Her approach is rooted in kindness, shaped by decades of training with respected teachers and healers around the world. After the Wild Woman races, Johanna will lead a restorative, all-levels yoga class to help you stretch out, reflect, and soak in the power of what you've just accomplished.
See more of Johanna’s offerings at Semana Legacy Adventures.
Johanna teaches yoga at 2:00 pm on Saturday June 21st.
Camping and Weekend FAQ
-
If you’re camping, bring everything you’d normally bring to camp. This means all sleeping equipment, but also anything you need to make yourself meals. (Potluck for Friday dinner and all-you-can-eat pizza lunch on Saturday is provided.)
Bring your own plate, bowl, utensils, and beverage to the potluck on Friday, as well as your own yoga mat if you want to take a class on Saturday.
Rustic, adventure-chic, outdoor sinks will be available for drinking water and your night time skin care routine (we Wild Women know the importance of moisturizing). We’ll have porta-potties for campers and all attendees, too.
Other great stuff are camp chairs for cheering and devouring all-you-can-eat pizza lunch. A blanket is also lovely to toss under the tent or next to a cold soak tub on Saturday after you’ve finished your run.
-
You bet. Any size vehicle for camping is welcome. There is lots of space! There are no hookups, but we do have running water at the outdoor sinks and porta-potties for weekend use.
-
Yes! You know how to kick-off your weekend right.
Bring your own plate, bowl, utensils and beverage.
For food to share, anything goes. Perhaps you have a favorte pre-adventure day dish, or your garden is overflowing and you add some sauce and grain and call it a salad. Of course, deserts are also great.
Please bring your own serving spoon.
If you’re traveling and can’t prepare anything, you’re still welcome to join! A bag of chips or store-bought goodies are also 100% awesome.
-
Yoga classes will be held outside on the lawn. We’ll do our best to find a somewhat shady location.
Bring your own yoga mat (or a towel works too), as well as sun protection (sunscreen, a sun layer pre-wetted in a cold soak tub, and a hat would all work).
The first class taught by White Salmon local and former elite marathoner turned mountain adventurer Susan Rivard starts about 11:00 am. Many of the half marathoners will have finished for this one.
The second class taught by Johanna Siskar, Hood River local and world-traveling yogini and medicine woman, will begin around 2:00 pm.
-
We hope to have someone greeting you as you park your vehicle. We’ll give you a site map with camping areas marked out, as well as locations for other weekend events.
If you arrive after the potluck on Friday (or after ~8 pm), feel free to park just on the right side of the dirt road that turns onto the property, next to the treeline. You can always move your tent to a different location on Saturday, but this ensures that you don’t disturb as much precious pre-race sleep.
-
Feel free to arrive at 3pm on Friday, June 20th to start hanging out and set up your camp!
Weekend activities are scheduled through Saturday afternoon, and you’re welcome to camp Saturday night.
We ask that you pack up and head out of camp by 11 am on Sunday morning. We’re happy to point you toward a local’s favorite adventure for the day!
