All Terrain Athletes · Spring Retreat 2026
RED ROCK.
Raw Terrain.
Four days deep in the canyon country of Sedona, Arizona. Sunrise runs on ancient trails. Cold creek swims in Oak Creek Canyon. Kettlebells under red rock walls. Fire under a sky full of stars. The kind of week that follows you home.
The Vision
SEDONA DOESN'T
Let You Hide.
There are places in this world that strip away everything that isn't real. Sedona is one of them. The red rock canyons, the high desert air at 4,500 feet, the cold rush of Oak Creek in April — none of it cares about your title, your calendar, or the version of yourself you show the rest of the world.
This is the second ATA retreat. Same formula as Timber Cove — elevated raw. Hard mornings, demanding terrain, honest evenings. You will be physically challenged every single day. And at night, around the fire under one of the clearest skies in the American Southwest, the real conversations will happen.
Rich brings the same thing he brings to every session — total presence, total accountability, and the deep belief that every person in that group is capable of more than they currently believe. Sedona will prove it.
"Kettlebells under red rock walls. Creek swims at dawn. Fire under a billion stars. You don't need to go to the other side of the world to find out what you're made of — you just need to get out of your routine and into the terrain."
— Rich Manaro, Founder ATA

The Itinerary
FOUR DAYS.
No Stone Unturned.
Every hour is intentional. Hard mornings, full days in the canyon, elevated evenings. This is the rhythm of ATA — in one of the most powerful landscapes on Earth.
2:00 PM
Arrival & Check-In
Settle into the property. Creekside cabins or yurt accommodations, depending on final venue. Take in the canyon walls. Let the drive unwind. This is the last time you'll feel still for a while.
4:00 PM
Airport Mesa Sunset Walk
The group's first time on Sedona terrain together — a 2-mile walk to Airport Mesa, one of the highest accessible points in Sedona. 360-degree views of the canyon. The red rock turns deep amber at this hour. This sets the tone for everything that follows.
Terrain · Community
5:30 PM
Opening Circle & Intention Setting
Everyone together. Rich leads a structured opening — why you're here, what you're carrying, what you want to walk away with. No titles. No performance. Just honesty. What happens in the circle stays in the circle.
Mindset
7:30 PM
Welcome Dinner
Private chef. Family style. Local Arizona flavors — fresh, performance-focused, abundant. The first real conversation starts here. Around the table, not a boardroom.
Community
9:30 PM
Fire & Stargazing
Open fire under 4,500 feet of Arizona sky. The Milky Way on a clear April night in Sedona is something you don't forget. No agenda. The conversation will go somewhere real.
Brotherhood
5:30 AM
Oak Creek Cold Swim — Sunrise
Before the sun clears the canyon walls — down to Oak Creek. April snowmelt makes this cold, fast, and completely alive. This is the moment the retreat really starts. Optional for nobody. Rich goes first.
Mental Toughness
6:30 AM
First Light Run — Cathedral Rock Trail
4-5 miles on the Cathedral Rock trail as the sun rises over the canyon. The red rocks go from dark to burning amber in real time around you. One of the most extraordinary runs you'll ever do. The lungs work harder at elevation. That's the point.
Movement · Terrain
8:30 AM
Performance Breakfast
Eggs, protein, complex carbs. The day ahead requires fuel. Private chef has it ready when you return from the run. Eat like you mean it.
10:00 AM
ATA Signature Workout — Red Rock
Rich-led full group workout on the open desert terrain. Kettlebells, bodyweight, functional movement. Canyon walls as the backdrop, red sandstone under your feet. 60-75 minutes of pure ATA. You will be challenged. You will be better for it.
Strength · Movement
12:00 PM
Recovery Lunch & Rest
Catered lunch. 90 minutes to recover, stretch, journal, or sleep in the shade. Recovery is training — it's built into every day intentionally.
2:00 PM
Secret Canyon Trek
The afternoon challenge — a backcountry route into Secret Canyon. Narrow sandstone walls, creek crossings, scrambling, and one of the most dramatic finishes in Sedona. 6-7 miles. Rich knows this trail. Follow him in.
Endurance · All Terrain
6:00 PM
Outdoor Recovery — Stretch & Mobility
Rich leads a 25-minute recovery flow. Your body has earned this. Canyon air, fading light, the group settling after the hardest day.
7:30 PM
Dinner & Guided Conversation
Rich facilitates a structured discussion around the table — what are you building and why? What's the gap between the life you're living and the life you want? Tired bodies, honest minds. The best conversations happen here.
Mindset · Brotherhood
9:30 PM
Fire Under the Stars
Night two around the fire. The conversation is different now — something shifted today. Let it land.
Brotherhood
5:45 AM
Sunrise Run — Bell Rock Trail
A different trail, a different kind of morning. Bell Rock is one of the most recognizable formations in Sedona — running its base at sunrise with the canyon coming to life around you is something else entirely.
Movement
7:30 AM
Breakfast & Journaling
Rich provides a single guided journaling prompt — one question designed to surface what you've been avoiding. You eat. You write. You sit with it. No phones. Just the canyon and whatever comes up.
Mindset
9:00 AM
Partner Workout
Paired training — Rich assigns partners intentionally. Someone you wouldn't typically work alongside. Shared struggle builds trust faster than anything. This is the session people remember.
Strength · Community
11:00 AM
Oak Creek Canyon Swim — Slide Rock Area
Back to the creek — this time deeper into Oak Creek Canyon. Natural sandstone slides, cold water pools, open sky above the canyon walls. Raw, wild, and completely freeing. This is what all terrain means.
Mental Toughness · Adventure
1:00 PM
Lunch & Free Time
Two hours. Sleep, explore, call home. Let the morning land before the afternoon begins.
3:00 PM
The Vulnerability Circle
The heart of the retreat. Rich creates the container — the group does the work. Insecurity. Identity. Purpose. The patterns that keep us small. The weight that nobody else sees us carry. Rich has lived all of it. Nothing leaves this circle. This session has changed lives. Come prepared to be honest.
Brotherhood · Growth
6:00 PM
Cold Plunge & Recovery
Back to the creek one more time — intentional cold exposure after the vulnerability session. Physical reset after the emotional work. The contrast is the point.
7:30 PM
Celebration Dinner — Final Night
The best meal of the trip. Arizona wine, open fire, the full group. Rich shares a closing reflection. You go around the table — what are you leaving with? What are you leaving behind? What does next look like?
Community · Brotherhood
10:00 PM
Final Fire — Open Night
The last fire. The best sky of the trip. The conversation that ties it all together. No agenda. Just the group, the canyon, and 4,500 feet of stars.
6:30 AM
Final Sunrise — Red Rock
One last morning in the canyon. Optional sunrise walk or run. The kind of quiet that only exists at this hour in this place. Take it in.
7:30 AM
Final Workout — Send Off
Shorter, intentional, meaningful. The last session together as a group. A physical send-off that honors the four days you just put in.
Movement
9:00 AM
Closing Breakfast & Integration
Final meal together. Rich leads the closing exercise — each person leaves with a written commitment and an accountability partner from the group. The retreat doesn't end here. It starts here.
Accountability
11:00 AM
Departures
Check out. Drive home through the canyon different than you arrived. Rich follows up personally with every attendee within 48 hours. The coaching relationship continues.
Investment
WHAT IT
Costs.
