Yosemite
This is our WHYosemite
Simply put, Yosemite is our WHY. Nothing quite compares to the sheer scale and magnitude of Yosemite National Park. At Cirque Running, Yosemite National Park has been front and center when it’s come to our vision and inspiration for our service. An incredibly special place for all of our guides, Yosemite’s trails are unmatched in their beauty and ability to inspire. We’re Trail Runners, Climbing Guides, Educators, and Stewards of Sierra and we want to share this impressive landscape with all those looking to immerse themselves in the lupin filled meadows and cascading falls of Yosemite National Park.
Cirque Running is a proud supporter of Yosemite Conservancy through our annual 1% for the Planet membership.

Yosemite National Park
July 18th - 21st, 2025
Price: $2,100 (10% discount for parties of 2 or more)
Come experience Yosemite National Park in an intimate and inspiring setting during our inaugural Cirque Running trail running retreat this summer, 2025! Cirque Running will be hosting it’s first trail running retreat in Yosemite National Park this July 18th - 21st, and we want you to join in on the fun and come experience Yosemite is a very special way!
Generally considered the heart of the Sierra, not just geographically speaking, but for it’s sheer beauty, Yosemite National Park is in a league all on it’s own. The biodiversity strewn throughout the park is like no other. From the high country single tracks and lupin studded meadows of Tuolumne, to the granite monoliths and dogwood painted trails of Yosemite Valley, to the snow melt swollen creeks cascading and weaving their way to the Merced River, Yosemite, simply put, is a spectacle every trail runner should experience once in their lifetime.
Throughout this retreat we’ll take our guests on some of the most iconic trails Yosemite has to offer, ensuring you get a little taste of everything the park has on show. From beautiful south rim views along the Pohono Trail, gazing across to El Cap, to granite lichen streaked trails atop Clouds Rest overlooking Half Dome, to the most photographed waterfalls in the park along the Mist Trail, Vernal and Nevada Falls, we’ll be taking our guests on the trail running adventure of a lifetime.
