Wild Woman Trail Runs exists to create a supportive, women-centered space in trail running, especially for runners who have historically been underrepresented, underestimated, or excluded.

Our events are open to:

• Women (including cisgender and transgender women and women-identifying athletes)

• Non-binary and gender-diverse runners who identify as females and feel aligned with and supported by a women-centered event space

We welcome participants based on self-identification and we do not police gender presentation.

Registration categories:

We host registration on Ultrasignup, where runners can select as Non-Binary. When you register for Wild Woman, your category will be reflected based on your account settings. Runners can register for Wild Woman when their category is Woman or Non-binary. Read more about this setting on Ultrasignup here.

Respect, safety, and community standards:

We are committed to a culture of respect. Harassment, misgendering, intimidation, or hostile behavior toward any participant is not tolerated. Participants who violate this standard may be removed from the event without refund.

About fairness and the women’s category:

We recognize that there are active, evolving debates across sport about sex-based categories and competitive equity (especially at the elite level). Our event is community-centered and participation-forward, and our goal is to create a women-centered weekend where people can push themselves and belong.

We do not require medical records, hormone information, or legal documents to participate. We ask all entrants to register in good faith and to respect the spirit of the event.

If you have questions or concerns about this policy, we invite you to contact us privately at hi@wildwomantrailruns.com. We do not litigate identity in public forums.

Yes, your partner, supporter, and/or family can camp out with you all weekend. We welcome men (friends, fathers, brothers, sons) to volunteer and support.

No, there is no day-of-race registration, but if there is space individual runners register on site the night before (Friday) between 3pm-7pm. All relay teams must be pre-registered.

No, day of is cash or check or Venmo only.

No refunds, sorry.  However, if you're on a team, and you find a replacement, we can provide her with a complimentary entry (and she can repay you). Contact the race director with name and email of your replacement runner.

There will be water and energy drink at all aid stations and limited energy food (about every 5-7 miles). 

You will need to bring your water bottle, hydration pack, or portable cup. Plenty of drinking water available.

Exchange point #1 is walking distance (about 1000 feet east of race headquarters).

Exchange #2 and #3 are located approximately 4 miles north from race headquarters. Parking will be in the same location for both of the exchanges; however, the exchanges are in two different spots about 1/10th of a mile from the parking area, in opposite directions. (We will provide directions for anyone heading up to those exchange points.) Plenty of parking is available at this exchange area.

Although there will not be a regular shuttle, there will be plenty of runners, crew, and volunteers heading up and down from there often. We will encourage everyone to share space in their vehicles. Or if you need a ride, don't be shy, just ask. You will not get stranded. Promise. 

For simplicity's sake, the 50K distance is only open to individuals. The marathon distance is the only distance set up for relay teams. You may have relay teams of 2, 3, or 4. 

Lunch will be served to each racer. Post race snacks will also be available.

There are showers available 1 mile south of camp at the Guler County Park.  It is $2 for 5 minutes.  Or, for the true wild woman we will have cold water horse troughs for a refreshing post-race plunge! Of course, there's always Trout Creek too. Just ask the race directors how to get there.

Yes, there will be porta-potties at the start and finish.

Typically it will be hot in the day (70s) and cold (40’s) in the evening and early morning.  The majority of the race course is shaded by conifer trees.

There is an ATM in Trout Lake inside the gas station.  You may want to bring some cash, for incidentals like a t-shirt, extra lunches, or a huckleberry smoothie in town.

Yes, believe it or not there is Wi-Fi.  But we don’t know how many people our internet system can handle so it may be intermittent. You can ask for the password at registration.

AT&T and Verizon, yes.  Others sometimes. 

We supply a variety of tampons and pads at every aid station along the course and at porta potties. Menstrual supplies will be located on top of aid station tables. Contact a race volunteer for help locating supplies.

For any runner who's experiencing pregnancy, postpartum, or fertility treatments/IVF, we offer a 3 year window for deferral for any race distance. Runners signed up for the relay can transfer their registration to an alternate runner at no additional cost.
