OTM Coaching
Cross Country Camp
This camp is designed for high school runners (rising 9-12th grade) and coaches. The goal of the camp is to engage athletes in quality and appropriate training, while supporting them with education. Our hope is that the quality training athletes receive at camp continues with the athletes the rest of the year.
For coaches, this week serves as an opportunity to brainstorm and collaborate with the experts that are presenting at camp, the collegiate runners that are counselors, and the other coaches attending. Evenings will include round-table discussions where coaches workshop their annual plans.

Check-in will be from Noon-2:00 on Monday the 17th. Pick-up will be at noon Friday the 21st.

The cost is $550/$425 per athlete and will include a technical running shirt, a foam roller, a thera-band, and potentially some team prizes. Early registration (prior to April 1st) is $500/$375—so register early!
