Something for everyone……whether you are new to running, already training regularly or competing, these Running Camps will provide you with advice, motivation and great running. To read about other runners experiences at these camps, please click here

This is for you if you:-

  • enjoy running through stunning scenery with fellow runners
  • would like to pick up hints and tips to make the most of your running generally
  • are training for an event and need expert advice/guidance on how to achieve your goals
  • just fancy a luxury weekend away with organised runs and all your needs catered for!

UK Weekend Camps:

Turn up on Friday afternoon from 4pm and let us look after you until Sunday afternoon ….run along picturesque towpath & river routes; rambling countryside & hill routes. All runs are of course optional; you can run as few or as many as you want. You can mix and match according to your ability and preference. Each session will be fully explained beforehand, so that you know what you are trying to achieve during the session and therefore will get the most out of it. Each session will be fully guided and coached. All abilities are catered for and everyone trains with other runners of a similar ability. Optional excellent sports massage available throughout the weekend.

Overseas Running Weeks:  

Everything in the 'Weekend Camps' applies here too, but for a week - more time to enjoy and make the most of your running (and relaxation!) time.  We will be using the fantastic trails and quiet roads in the beautiful Catalan countryside and also utilising the nature trails around Lake Banyoles (the rowing location for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics).  During your down-time there will be plenty of time for sight seeing as the venue is in the midst of the fantastic Catalan countryside, with ancient prehistoric caves, Romanesque churches and Monasteries.  There is the old stone town of Besalu with it's medieval theme, Dali's Museu de Teatre, Castel and Fisherman's studio, the old town of Girona, and the Pyrenees and the Volcanic National Park are both in very close proximity. If you would prefer to relax by the 25m pool and jacuzzi however, or borrow a bike and take a leisurely cycle then that is also fine.  The idea is that you get to train but also have a chance to generally unwind in this charming unspoilt area of Catalonia.  Staying in a lovely hotel, with either individual or twin en-suite accommodation. Sports massage and yoga available during the week - and there may also be the opportunity for a mud massage! 

Beginners:

Come along to the weekends in the UK or the week away in Spain, you are very welcome; you will not be put under pressure, nor will you hold other runners back. You will gain a lot from the Running Camps in terms of guidance, confidence and plenty of new ideas. 

Club/Group Social Running Weekend

We offer bespoke packages to clubs or groups at fantastic rates. The weekend package will be tailored to your requirements and we are completely flexible in our approach. Whether you want races, handicap races, fun orienteering events, or just scenic runs away from your usual location, we can put together a weekend to suit. With great food and experienced hosts, your club or group will enjoy a hassle-free weekend away, with everything taken care of by us. To read testimonials from previous club camps, please click here.
