A Weekend of Movement, Nature, Connection & Joy
After hundreds of 5-star reviews and bringing our community around the world to take on Half Marathons, The Good Glow is ready to introduce a new experience to our repertoire. Presenting Run To You Running Retreats, a brand new retreat experience that reminds us running can be about so much more than movement.
Taking place in some of the most beautiful places on earth, these weekends have been designed to bring fresh perspective, meaningful connection, and help you discover something deeper within yourself.
Run To You is a way to breathe deeper, feel more present, and reconnect with yourself through movement, nature, community, stillness and celebration.
Our first Run To You Retreat will take you on a soulful three-day weekend in the quaint town of St Ives Cornwall, set along some of the most breathtaking coastal landscapes.
Across the weekend, we’ll run coastal paths, swim in the sea, stretch, laugh, and let the sea air remind us what it feels like to be free again.
If you’ve ever felt curious about trail running, this is the perfect introduction.
Why St Ives?
After spending time in St Ives we just knew it was the perfect destination for our first retreat. Just a very short hop across the Irish Sea, yet a world away. The Cornwall coastline is wild and beautiful, and running along it feels hard to put into words. It’s the kind of place that naturally slows everything down, almost like you’ve gone back in time. You breathe deeper, instantly feel more present and there is something so grounding about running by the sea. With its turquoise waters, cobbled streets, tiny seaside cafes and friendly energy, St Ives is the perfect setting for a weekend of connection, rest and coming back to yourself.
The Heart of the Weekend
Each day of this retreat has been carefully considered and planned to build gently towards Sunday’s long run ‘Run To You’.
This will be a challenge, but more than that, a celebration. A chance to meet yourself in the miles. Not to prove anything, but to remember what you’re capable of.
Because sometimes the longest run is the one that leads you back.
The Weekend Flow
Friday | Arrive + Exhale
We arrive in St Ives on Friday afternoon and begin with a short coastal run, an easy way to shake out, ground yourself and breathe in the fresh sea air.
That evening we share dinner together followed by a moment of connection and calm.
Saturday | Run + Reflect + Play
Saturday begins at sunrise with gentle movement and breathwork on the beach.
After breakfast, we’ll head out along the breathtaking coastal path for an 8km run.
Halfway through we’ll take a short break with the returning 4km offered as an optional silent run, a space to connect inwards and prepare for Sunday’s bigger challenge.
The afternoon has been designed for you to take space. This is an opportunity to visit the spa, book a treatment, check out some paddleboarding, explore the town or simply do nothing at all.
In the evening, we’ll briefly connect to prepare for Sunday.
The evening is free, early night or dinner in the town with new friends.
Sunday | Run To You
Sunday morning is the heart of the retreat.
We wake early and gather together for a short briefing and motivational workshop. This run is not about pace, but about purpose. Everything you’ve experienced on the retreat so far has been leading you to this moment and has prepared you for the challenge that lies ahead.
Then we begin:
A guided long run along the Cornish Coast (approx. 20km)
(with a 10km option for those who prefer).
This is your Run To You moment. A run where you’ll be supported, encouraged, and reminded: You are stronger than you think.
The finish won’t be over a line or under an arch this time. The final stretch brings us home to the ocean, where we’ll jump into the sea, a release, a celebration, a reminder of how alive we feel.
That evening we close with a celebration: dinner, wine, warmth and laughter.
Monday | Rise + Return
On Monday morning, as the sun rises over St Ives Bay, we’ll head down to the water for an optional sunrise swim, a gentle closing ritual to give thanks.
Afterwards, we’ll gather for a breakfast, reflection, and a final exhale before it’s time to travel home.
You’ll leave feeling lighter, clearer, and deeply connected.. to yourself, to nature, and to the community you’ve shared these days with.

Testimonials
“‘It is difficult to describe or put into words how life changing The Good Glow Retreat has been for me. From the very first exercise we became a solid group who loved and supported each other through every step of the way throughout the entire weekend. Georgie was an integral part of the group and participated in all the activities and was just such a joy to be with. I had never done anything like this before, I was nervous about going by myself but I am so glad I stepped out of my comfort zone. I have a sense of calm in my life that I haven’t felt in years. I absolutely cannot recommend the Good Glow Retreats enough. It will have such a positive impact on you.” – Good Glow Retreat, Wicklow 2023.
“From start to finish, everything.. the organisation, communication, and overall professionalism was exceptional. Yet beyond that, there was such a genuine family feel throughout the entire experience. I felt cared for, supported, and truly seen. The atmosphere you created was so positive and uplifting, surrounded by like-minded, generous souls who shared guidance, encouragement, and kindness so freely. It was a beautiful reminder of the power of community and connection. Running may have been the motivation that brought me there, but it’s the spirit, heart, and soul of this experience that will bring me back.”
– Rome, 2025.
“I can’t stop thinking about all the incredible moments from the 3 days in Arosa. There is no single highlight as it was ALL magic. As always, every single detail was carefully considered and meticulously planned by you, and as a result, we all had the time of our lives. I think I have laughed and hugged more this weekend than I have in about 10 years. I left with a nourished soul, a heart bursting with happiness and gratitude…and of course, lots of new friends.” – Arosa, 2026.
“The Good Glow has become a new part of my life introducing me to valuable ‘me time’ and creating new friendships. I am lucky to enjoy once in a lifetime experiences with the most amazing people whom we all share our life experiences with and take strength from each other. This is the connection we need. Thank you Georgie & Jamie.” Chicago, 2024.
