Women in Business
Trail Run.
- Free
- Walking is absolutely welcome
- Utah Valley & Salt Lake County
Upcoming runs.
New dates land here as soon as they’re scheduled, on trails in Utah Valley and Salt Lake County. RSVP to each run you’d like to join, and the trail details reach you by email before the run.
A better networking option.
Networking nights are exhausting. You walk into a room of people you don’t know, find someone to make eye contact with, and then spend twenty minutes making sure there’s no dead air.
Out here that pressure doesn’t exist. Quiet is part of the deal. You can go ten minutes without saying anything and it just reads as two women walking up a hill together.
What tends to happen is better anyway. Someone mentions what they’re stuck on, someone else has some thoughts, and by the turnaround you’ve got three ideas you didn’t show up with.
My clearest thinking has never happened at a desk staring at the problem. It happens outside, moving, when my body is busy and my head finally has room. That’s the whole idea here.

How the hour goes.
Walk it, run it, or land somewhere in between. Here is the whole thing ahead of time.

Who its for.
If “in business” fits you at all, you fit here.
This is for:
- Women who are building something: owners, founders, freelancers, consultants.
- Women leading inside someone else's company.
- Anyone who hasn't run in years, or ever. Walking counts.
- Anyone who finds networking nights exhausting.
This is not:
- A sales pitch. Leave the deck in the car.
- A race. Nobody is timing anything.
- A panel. No speakers, no slides, no lanyards.
What to bring.
Three things! If you need anything special, we’ll let you know.
Shoes that can get dusty
Trail shoes if you have them. Sneakers are fine if not.
Water
A bottle is plenty. It’s an hour of movement.
Whatever's taking up space in your head
The decision, the snag, the idea. And your business cards, if you’ve got them.
Weather: we go in most of it. We only cal la run off when the drive or the trail would be unsafe, and everyone who RSVPed hears from us as early as possible.
Liked the trail? We do this every Saturday.
The Women in Business run is a specialty run. The Collective meets for coach-guided trail runs every Saturday morning, every pace, and nobody gets left behind.

Questions
The honest answers, before you have to email anyone.
Is it really free?
Yes. No card, no catch. The RSVP only tells us how many to expect and lets us reach you if plans change.
Do I have to run?
No. Walking is absolutely welcome. Walk it, run it, or land somewhere in between. We group by pace, so walkers are never on their own at the back.
I don't own a business. Can I still come?
Yes. Freelancers, side projects, women leading inside someone else’s company, women thinking about starting something. If “in business” fits you at all, come.
Is this a sales event?
No pitches, no vendor tables, no speakers. Bring cards if you have them. Mostly what gets traded is ideas on what everyone is working on.
Where do we meet?
It changes between Utah Valley and Salt Lake County trails. Each run lists the location for that specific date.
Can I bring a friend?
Please do. She just needs her own RSVP so we know how many to expect.
Is it only for women?
For now…yes. It is possible we will have events that include everyone in the future!
