The Heart Behind Wandering Sole
Hi, I'm Hayley McCurdy, founder of Wandering Sole Running Escapes.
For more than 30 years, running has been one of the greatest constants in my life. It has challenged me, grounded me, introduced me to incredible people, and taken me to places I never imagined possible.
Professionally, I've spent my career helping others move with confidence and resilience. I am a licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy with nearly 20 years of experience, a wilderness PT First Responder and have been a Nationally Registered EMT. I regularly use these skills in back country volunteer work and at local races.
This unique blend of endurance experience, medical expertise, and wilderness safety training shapes every aspect of Wandering Sole Running Escapes.
I created Wandering Sole as a reflection of my own journey as a runner, clinician, and adventurer. Along the way, I've learned that growth happens when we step just beyond our comfort zones—but that those experiences are most powerful when they occur within an environment of trust, support, and genuine connection.
My vision is simple: to create thoughtfully curated experiences where women feel empowered to explore boldly, trust their bodies, and reconnect with their strength while experiencing extraordinary places alongside a community of like-minded women.
At Wandering Sole, every retreat is intentionally designed to balance adventure, luxury, safety, and meaningful connection—so you can focus on what matters most: the experience itself.
I can't wait to welcome you on the trail.
