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!

Trail sisters, misters & non-binary folk welcome!

screening of the long path: a journey of becoming

Q&A with Kim Levinsky to follow

It’s human nature to try and pretend things are okay in times of struggle.

That used to be the case for New Jersey runner and race director Kim Levinsky. Through her attempt to set the FKT on the relatively unknown 358-mile New York State Long Path, Kim unravels her journey from reluctantly starting therapy to becoming a mental health advocate in her community.

The full 40 minute film is built around an in-person program to be shared with friends and strangers. While we invite you to watch it on your availability, we encourage EVERYONE to join us at a local screening to share in a conversation to de-stigmatize therapy and mental health services.
