Bay Area Running Camp

Please help spread the word with your teammates or runners.  
======
Hi folks-

Wanted to send one last reminder in case you have any interested athletes.  We're looking forward to a great week!

The Bay Area Running Camp is coming on August 1-5!

Our mission is to provide a local and accessible running camp opportunity for kids ages 12-18. 

All campers receive a pair of New Balance trainers with registration (fitted by Fleet Feet Menlo Park staff).

Why a day camp?

• No need to get away for an entire week if a busy schedule can't accommodate the trip
  
• An affordable alternative a sleep away camp
• Not all kids are prepared to run twice a day without risking injury
• Some novice kids are still deciding whether the sport is for them and we want to nurture that interest
  
• Some teams may have a few kids who want to try camp, but not enough to go as a whole team

We'll group the kids according to age and ability level, and have a great roster of speakers and activities planned. Topics will include form analysis, nutrition, injury prevention, resistance/ core training for distance runners, introduction to distance hurdling (steeplechase) and more!

Some financial assistance is available - we don't want finances to stand in the way of a motivated kid.

Coaches are more than welcome to attend.

Team discount codes are available to further reduce costs.

We are located on the campus of Woodside Priory School, nestled amongst the trails in Portola Valley, just off the 280.

DON'T MISS OUT!  Space is limited...

Registration is available until July 27th only.

Please do not hesitate to email with any questions.

Best,
Dena Evans
