Explore the Flagstaff trails in Arizona on foot, breathing in the fresh scent of pines and taking in the gorgeous scenery in every direction while having opportunities to run almost every single day.
Explore the Sacred Valley, plunge in natural thermal hot springs, and end the journey exploring Machu Picchu. Strive Peru participants can add a one-week Spanish immersion program before their trip.
To Kenya, settle into life in the Rift Valley, stay in the High-Altitude Training Center, visit the Giraffe Sanctuary and wrap up the trip with a safari in the Masai Mara.
“We are so excited about working with Strive Trips. Imagine the opportunity while in high school to go to Machu Picchu or on a safari with other kids your age. Helping in the community, exploring the local sites, living with locals and can train each day. Added bonuses are the end of each program’s adventure. What a dream!” says Jan O’Connor, EVP, US Sports Camps.

Staffed by professional coaches, athletes and seasoned travelers, we not only understand what it takes to train at an elite level, but we ensure that each participant has a unique and meaningful experience.
The programs are coed, open to high school participants, the group limit is 18. All ability levels are welcome, not limited to those with running experience. Prepare for 35-40 hours of community service while on the trips.
