TRAIL RUNNING CAMPS
Presented by
The public lands that we select for our running camps aren’t just any ordinary lands, we have personally run and selected the best of the best; the locations with the most unique geology, stunning geography, and interesting history. There’s a wild awesome wilderness out there and we want to explore it with you. Just imagine running ridgelines, mountain trails with vistas for miles, and along serene rivers.

The camp is to help foster a level of comfort and independence while running trails in remote areas through education in map reading and navigation and to provide a level of understanding about forest issues and trail maintenance through hands on work.
Our over-arching goal is to create capable trail runners and stewards with a lifelong love of nature.

Camp Locations
Imagine a remote and rustic cabin high in the mountains on a mountain lake as your base of operations with hundreds of seamless miles of trails leaving right from your back door. We choose each location with a purpose in mind; areas of extreme beauty, miles of singletrack trails, and meccas of endurance trail running. Everyday a new running adventure with spectacular views of ridges, snow capped peaks, and crystal clear mountain streams awaits. In the evening, after a healthy and fulfilling home-cooked meal you're roasting s'mores with 15 of your closest friends over an open fire while the fire crackles and you rest your weary legs. This is the camp you've been waiting for. An authentic experience that you won't find anywhere else.
The Crew
We've hand picked some of the best teachers, forest rangers, and chefs to deliver a camp experience not only to get you running some amazing trails but learn how to be prepared out in the wilderness and why we're so fortunate to have such amazing trails for you to enjoy.
You may hear advice from renowned strength coaches, wildlife biologists, world champions, inspiring writers, wilderness first responders, and yoga gurus, all within a week.
What Drives Us
Each of us is driven by a different passion. Helping athletes and adventurers be comfortable in the outdoors and finding their way down a winding trail is ours. Here you'll find some of what has motivated us to start this camp and offer something truly unique to trail athletes not satisfied with the status quo.
