Trail Guides
Support, guidance & inspiration for every woman on the trail.
At Trail Goddess, we believe trail running should feel welcoming, joyful and accessible for every woman — whether you’re stepping onto the trails for the first time, returning after time away, or chasing your next big adventure.
Our mission is simple:
to help women Find Their Freedom — through every mile and every season of life.
And our values guide everything we create:
✨ Freedom to Move — in kit designed for real women’s bodies, no squeezing, no tugging, no compromise.
✨ Freedom to Connect — with nature, with community, and with the parts of yourself that feel most alive.
✨ Freedom to Be You — bold, quiet, strong, curious, emotional, powerful… and everything in between.
This Guides Hub brings those values to life.
Each guide is written by real female trail and ultra runners who understand the nerves, questions, joy and courage that come with choosing the trail. You are not doing this alone — you’re stepping into something bigger.
Take your time, explore, and choose the guide that meets you where you are.
Let’s find our freedom, together.

A Final Word From Leigh-Ann
Trail running changed my life — not because I started out fast or confident, but because I chose the kind of adventure that lets you breathe, grow and reconnect with who you truly are.
Through Trail Goddess, my mission is to help women experience that same freedom.
Freedom to Move.
Freedom to Connect.
Freedom to Be You.
Wherever you are in your journey — the trails, and this community, will be right here.
Find your freedom.
