Event Description

Gustavus Running Camps

2019 Boys & Girls Running Camps

The Gustavus Running Camp is now going into its 10th year. Due to increased enrollment over the past few years, the Gustavus Running Camp will continue to offer a second session! This will allow the camp to continue to work with smaller numbers so each camper receives more one on one attention. The Gustavus Running Camp is designed to broaden each athlete’s knowledge of running and motivate each person to perform his or her best, while coming away with the feeling of being a part of the team!

  • Enrollment: 40 campers per session.
  • Check In is from 3:00pm-4:00pm on the first day.  Camp will end at 11:00am on the last day.
  • What to bring? Campers should bring running shoes, workout clothes, towel, toiletries, swimming suit, water bottle and a fan.  Bedding is provided.
  • Expectation for runners to be ready to run between 15-40 miles during camp.
