Run Camp
As the name implies, this camp is 13-weeks long with programs for those training for a Half Marathon, 10K, or 5K. Additionally, we’ve added a new program geared towards walkers – Get Your Walk On!
Come one, come all! No matter where you are in your movement journey, we have a team for you.
Starts: Saturday, January 23, 2027
Ready, Set, Go
Registration opens July 1, 2026. Late Registration begins January 23, 2027 through the second week of camp (February 6, 2027)
For about $6.75 per week, you receive benefits above and beyond that of the cost of a specialty coffee or a typical session at workout studios all while gaining friends for life and moving your body!
