Epic Mountain Running

You will get to do amazing mountain/trail running on some of the most iconic East Coast mountain trails. The runs we do each day will be in the Pisgah National forest where there is 300+ miles of epic single track.

How much running will we do each day? On Thursday, arrival day, we will do a short sunset run/hike before dinner. The big run days will be on Friday and Saturday. On each of those days, after starting the day with breakfast together and debrief we will head out for an epic mountain adventure.

On Friday and Saturday we will do between 10-13 miles each day of mountain trail running with at least 3,000+ feet or more of gain. Each camper will need to be able to do at least 10 miles per day on Friday and Saturday.

When available we will try to have at least 1 spot on the run where our team will have some basic aid and snacks. Expect these days in the mountains to last between 3-6 hours.

The main big mountain days will be Friday and Saturday. Camp will end around 10am on Sunday morning.

elevate your mindset

In addition to the epic mountain running one of the main focuses of this camp will be helping you to elevate your mindset and dream big when it comes to your future goals.

The bigger Ultrarunning dreams and life dreams you go after the less those dreams are accomplished through just training more or training harder. Your next levels of breakthrough are likely going to come through elevating your mindset.

This is why on each night of the camp (Thursday, Friday, and Saturday) we will have a great dinner and then hear engaging talks from coach Bobby and Arlen around mindset, mental toughness, battling fear, and the mental side of ultra running. We will also offer practical tips and teaching on best practices around racing, training, and fueling.

We will also have some fun discussion around these topics and you will get a chance to ask questions each night of Bobby and Arlen on these topics.

Food and friends

This will be a great opportunity to meet like-minded people in the trail & Ultrarunning community. For most Ultrarunners many of the people in your life think you are crazy for running as long and as far as you do, haha.

This will be a chance to get around other "crazy" people who love to run far and push their limits! In addition to friendship you will get a chance to meet others who will support and cheer you on in going after big dreams and goals.

Each day we will also eat great dinners together, laugh, and share stories of the day! Thursday night dinner will be provided, Friday breakfast and dinner, Saturday breakfast and dinner, and Sunday breakfast will be provided. We will also have snacks and such for you to grab to bring onto the trail for the two big run days.
