Our Happy Runners!

Thank you so much, Kelly! This retreat was a 10/10. It wasn’t the cheapest price for such a short stay.. so I was afraid that it would not be worth it. But it TOTALLY is! Kelly did such a nice job - the activities, the food, the villa,… every detail was perfect! I also worried about not keeping up with the other ladies during the runs. But everyone took care of each other and the connection between the group was fantastic. I wanted to meet like-minded people, improve my running and visit beautiful Tuscany. But this experience went far beyond my expectations. Every day was well organized with lovely details and little surprises. I enjoyed the runs with beautiful views on the stunning Tuscan landscapes and vineyards. I’m very thankful for the motivation and support of Kelly and the whole group. Kelly and her team did such a nice job - the activities, the food, the villa,… every detail was perfect! My heart is full of joy and I will keep this retreat in my heart for ever.

Before booking, I had a small doubt. I was a little worried that I might be the only one traveling solo. But after my call with Kelly, I felt completely reassured. She let me know that many of the ladies would be coming on their own, and that the group would be super open and welcoming. That gave me the confidence to go ahead, and I’m so glad I did! I had an amazing time at the retreat in Tuscany! It was the perfect solo travel experience, meeting a wonderful group of women who share my love for running. The trails were beautiful, with stunning views and diverse paths, and the villa was lovely. The retreat offered the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and great food. An unforgettable experience!

Yes I had doubts. What if I could not run that far. What if so could not run that fast. What if the hills were too steep. But in the end, I was reassured by Kelly that the retreat would be with others just like me. I trusted Kelly that the group would be a group that I wanted to spend a week with. And this was confirmed 100%. As running retreats go this has got to be one of the best out there. It’s so well organised with experienced, professionals overseeing all our needs, ensuring a perfect retreat. Pilates to wake you up. Runs during the day with new friends that are sheer enjoyment. Evenings in local hill top villages and towns so that you can experience a small part of Italy like the locals. All our needs were taken care of from the moment we arrived to the moment we left.

I definitely doubted if I would be able to keep up. But you really made it seem like a very safe environment for people of all levels, so I decided to give it a go. This retreat exceeded all my expectations. The runs and the pilates classes were fantastic and everyone in the group was so supportive. In the afternoons and evenings we had a wonderful time exploring Tuscany through various activities. Kelly and her team put so much love and effort into organising everything and making us feel welcome and well looked after. A very special holiday that will stay with me for a long time. You really created something special and a very safe environment for people of all levels. Thank you so much for everything, I loved it!

Kelly and her team made my idea of treating myself to a magical adventure of running over Tuscan hills to hilltop villages, Pilates sessions, enjoying Italian food and sipping wine until the sun goes down come true. It even was better than imagined because of the company of likeminded women. Not a single one selfish. Not a run where one was left behind. Just pure joy. The best bit was the human connection with participants and Kellys team. All coming from all walks of lives with their own stories. You have to try it to experience the magic! I’m thankful for the many happy moments on this retreat.

Dear doubting woman, So great of you even considering on going on this Run retreat in Tuscany! Me at age 50, my doubts were being that o(l)dd one out, but everyone in the group had their own doubts and felt so very welcome! We were all very different in age, from different countries, with different and levels of running, but we had that one thing in common: we we’re all women and we all love running together, especially in such great scenery! I enjoyed every minute, from meeting everyone in Florence, to having an early pilates session followed by an outdoor breakfast buffet, going on three up-hill trailruns to different villages and on top of it all: enjoying the delicious cappuccino at the end of our runs! So lovely lady, do yourself this big favor and go and meet those other lovely women on the Tuscany run retreat. They won’t bite, unless it’s in a pizza!😄

I can't say enough good things about the retreat that I booked with Kelly. She was a fantastic host and did a great job organizing all of the various activities included in the trip. Kelly makes everyone feel at ease, regardless of their fitness level and checks in throughout different exercises to make sure that everyone is feeling ok. In addition, all of the activities are held in really lovely places and perhaps locations that are hard to come by without a local's knowledge. All of the other women in the group were extremely kind and welcoming and we had a really great time running and doing various activities together throughout the week. I loved this retreat where I met other runners from around Europe!

I joined Kelly’s retreat, and it was one of the best experiences of my life! We were so lucky with the weather- beautiful sunshine every day. When we reached the hilltops, the views were incredible; you could see for miles. It felt magical! I was a little worried about the running distance and pace before coming, but Kelly made sure no one got left behind. She was so supportive, and we all felt included no matter our running level. The whole retreat experience was so much fun, full of laughter, good food, and great company. I will always remember this trip and hope to come back again!

Locations from the Villa to the trails and wine tasting were absolutely divine and you can tell they were carefully chosen by Kelly. Each location had a unique story to tell and I felt totally immersed in the landscape surrounded by bucolic rolling hills, vineyards and medieval towns. Kelly was a fantastic host and did a great job facilitating the group and building connections between the participants. What a great way to reconnect with your fitness goals and enjoy the simple charm of the Tuscan countryside in the company of like-minded ladies!

Visiting some of the most picturesque places in Tuscany with such wonderful company was a real treat. I have to say it was a real complete mind and body experience, including running, socializing, pilates lessons, learning the history of each and every location and last but not least wining and dining. Kelly was definitely the hostess with the mostess, making everybody feel at ease and picking out such amazing activities to do. I came home feeling completely regenerated and would love to repeat the experience in the near future.
