JANE'S OF THE JUNGLE RETREAT!
OCTOBER 19 - 23, 2025
BREAK OUT YOUR LOIN CLOTHS, LADIES!
Kidding kidding! But definitely your bathing suits! This retreat includes as much beach and recharging as it does rucking the Pitons!
Join us October 19 - 23 for five days focused on wellness, camaraderie, beach badassery, jungle rucks, sight-seeing the Island's magic, pampering, and more. We'll be staying at Zoëtry Marigot Bay packed with luxurious, all-inclusive goodies!
Toughness Level: 3/5
(3/5 means there will be opportunities to do hard work defined by what's hard for YOU and new opportunities outside your comfort zone. This score means you should have familiarity with rucking and strength training to not feel overwhelmed. All workouts and challenges will be tailored to suit every fitness level.)

Lodgings
Zoëtry Marigot Bay St. Lucia
Perched atop a quiet hillside with panoramic marina views lies Zoëtry Marigot Bay St. Lucia - a secluded, opulent tropical paradise nestled in nature! This AAA Four-Diamond boutique resort is exclusively located on the island’s most desirable marina, Marigot Bay Yacht Haven, complete with swaying palm trees, anchored yachts, and a nearby volcanic white-sand beach, offering both tranquility and easy access to St. Lucia’s top attractions like the nearby Pitons. We'll be staying in one of 124 spacious, 2 bed Caribbean-chic suites accompanied by warm hospitality, pampering amenities and devoted service. We'll have options to explore the onsite Rum Cave, relax at the world-class spa or glistening pools, and immerse ourselves in the unspoiled beauty of Zoëtry Marigot Bay.
The Pitons
We'll pack our rucks for exploration of Saint Lucia’s famous landmarks, the Pitons, two volcanic plugs on the southwestern coast of the island. Each Piton has its own name: Gros Piton (at 2,530 ft high) and Petit Piton (at 2,438 ft high). These landmarks actually inspired the creation of a local beer, Piton, a light, refreshing drink popular with locals and residents alike.
We'll be hiking and rucking these dormant volcanoes to see exotic plants and animals that call the area home.
