RUNNER’S WORKSHOP SUMMER CAMP INFORMATION
(THIS FORM IS FOR INFORMATION ONLY - YOU DO NOT NEED TO MAIL THIS FORM IN)

Welcome to Runner's Workshop,

For the past 24 years Runner's Workshop has endeavored to bring the finest collegiate and high school training and clinics to all Workshop participants. The goal of our camp is to send you home a better runner then when you arrived. You will have an opportunity to spend a week training with some of the nation's finest coaches, counselors, speakers, and fellow athletes. You will be exposed to a variety of workouts (including the use of cross training); a dozen running specific clinics and the opportunity to attend additional advanced clinic sessions. In addition to the great running and clinics you will spend your free time taking part in a great variety of outdoor recreation, that will help build your self-confidence and bond you with your teammates and the other athletes who attend camp. By the end of the week you will be happily exhausted. You will have been immersed in a total running environment, and had a lot of fun throughout the week. If you make the most of your week at camp you will be set to enjoy your best season ever!

The information below is provided to prepare you for camp. Be sure you are in good early season shape (building a good base of mileage) prior to camp and ready physically and dedicated mentally to make the most of the workouts and clinics that will help you realize your running potential.
