Event Description
Cross Country Camp
The Wartburg College Cross Country Camp has become known as one of the top camps in the Midwest. Our goal is to provide a complete and enjoyable experience with a primary emphasis on instruction rather than mileage. All runners will learn about the essential aspects of training and racing that contribute to a championship performance. Runners will learn by doing and be active in the learning sessions. Moderate workouts, combined with discussions, demonstrations, and individual consultations, will give each person a great chance to have an outstanding season.
