How fast of a runner do I need to be?
This is an inclusive camp experience designed for all paces of runner. That being said… this event is not for the faint of heart. The routes have a lot of vert, rugged trails and long days. You don’t need to be a fast runner, but you need to be prepared for a long, hard weekend. However, if you want to participate but end up needing a rest day on Friday or Saturday or need to utilize the bail out on Sunday, then we can accommodate. Pricing for the camp remains the same regardless of mileage as it’s priced at cost to cover lodging, meals and support.
