Nike Running Camps Announces Dates For The Nike Cross Country Camp at University of California, Santa Cruz

Experience the beautiful scenery Santa Cruz has to offer

The Nike Cross Country Camp at UC Santa Cruz announces the dates for 2020, July 16-19. UC Santa Cruz offers world-class facilities and scenery.

Camp Director and Head Coach David Klech says, “We welcome campers to spend a week of fun training on our campus. We invite you to see what it takes to become a collegiate athlete, to assess your current skill level, and ask questions from current student-athletes about their collegiate experiences. Our goal is that runners will build on their own understanding of running, learn successful habits that will improve their running economy, and learn strength assets to help with training.”

Overlooking the Pacific Ocean, campers train on the beautiful trails, with gorgeous vistas and surrounded by majestic redwoods. They stay in the dorms on campus and eat in the dining hall. Explore different training philosophies, speed work, injury prevention, and strength & conditioning training. Sessions will include different dynamic warm-ups working on postural integrity, muscle activation and recruitment, technical form analysis, cool downs, and function strength training for distance runners.

The camp is coed, overnight and day campers, ages 12-18. All ability levels are welcome, those with the desire to train smarter, work hard and to have fun.

Players, coaches, and parents interested in learning more can visit Nike Running Camps.
