We’re taking a little Winter Holiday Break so everyone can relax and soak up the season. Can’t wait to see you again on January 9th for a beautiful snowshoe/hike adventure at Mount Buckhorn in Colorado Springs!
Liz is a Colorado native who has always felt most at home outdoors. As an adult, she began sharing her favorite adventures with friends, hoping they would discover the same joy, confidence, and renewal she finds in nature. As WAC’s Event Director, she channels that passion into creating opportunities for women to connect, challenge themselves, and find renewal in the outdoors.
Gayle Hoffmeister is a lifelong distance runner, having run her first marathon at age 12 and continuing her passion today as she nears her seventh year as a streak runner…having run at least a mile every day for the last 8 years.
An army veteran and consummate adventure seeker, Gayle is always chasing the next challenge. She’s completed marathons, Ironman’s, and adventure races around the world, summited Denali, and Kilimanjaro, climbed in the Andes, circumnavigated Mt Rainier, traversed the Grand Canyon from rim to rim to rim and raced fat bikes in the Arctic.
Her latest challenge is finishing the Marathon Global Majors, a series of 6 marathons around the world. Driven by a deep passion for sport and adventure, Gayle is committed to inspiring women and sharing her knowledge and experience to empower women of all ages and abilities.
