Episode #66: Summit For Her Live Podcast

Summit For Her is a celebration at the intersection of women in running and sustainability in sport! We are excited to join forces for International Women's Day on March 8th, 2026 with Trail Sisters, Emmaus Run Inn & HOKA. We are not only celebrating women in the sport, but also Trail Sisters 10th anniversary! As a women-owned organization, it has always been a priority for Trail Sisters to break down barriers for women in trail running. That combined with The Running Kind's passion for connecting runners to more sustainably driven solutions lives at the intersection of feminism in sport. AND NOW we are excited to give you a day to celebrate that with us! Gina Lucrezi has always been stubborn and bold, so when it came to advocating for women's rights and equality in the outdoors, she was bound to make changes. As the founder of Trail Sisters, Gina's goal is to grow participation and opportunity in women's trail running. Gina is also County Commissioner for Chaffee County, Colorado, an active member and former Vice President of Chaffee County Search & Rescue - North, and Race Director for the Lake Sonoma 100k, 50k, and Trail Sisters Half Marathon.
