Humboldt
Running Camp is an inspiring week of running amidst majestic
redwoods, beside ocean vistas, and along winding rivers, as well
as an opportunity to learn from prominent coaches and interact with
athletes, intended to elevate each participant's level of performance
and enjoyment in our sport.
Running
Camp provides an opportunity for the team to immerse itself in a
total running environment for 6 days! It is a time for building
team identity, strengthening bonds between teammates and coaches,
and establishing goals for the up-coming season.
This
experience is open to athletes who are willing to prepare adequately,
who wish to dedicate themselves to their personal improvement, and
who are committed to the goals of our team. Athletes who wish to participate in this camp must visit the CAL POLY HUMBOLDT CAMP website and complete the registration process ASAP.
PREPARATION: Running camp can be a fantastic experience:
meeting new people, learning important strategies, and above all
else, running through the most spectacular terrain imaginable. However,
it can also be a disappointment for anyone that attends unprepared.
Sore muscles, blistered feet, burning lungs, and the loneliness
of straggling behind can all detract from enjoyment of camp. Participating in the Campolindo summer camp training program starting in June is an important prerequisite for camp.
A DAY AT CAMP: The daily schedule
consists of an easy morning run at 6am, breakfast, seminar, track
or steeple clinic, lunch, team meeting, afternoon long run,
dinner, and evening seminar.
WHAT TO BRING: BRING TRACK SPIKES!
The camp provides bedding, including pillows and blankets. Be sure
to bring a towel, soap, toothbrush, etc. Bring at least 2 pairs of running shoes (3 is recommended),
lots of socks, running shorts, shirts, and a swimsuit. The weather

or light jacket for the cool mornings and evenings. You will be
provided with 3 meals a day! Bring spending cash for snacks,
extra curriculars, and lunch on the way there and back. ELECTRONIC
