San Rafel, CA- The Winona State University Cross Country Staff and the Nike Running Camps and announce the 2019 dates for its eighth annual running camp. Middle distance and cross country runners can prepare for their upcoming season by attending July 14-18.
Located in the scenic and welcoming community of Winona and nestled in the picturesque bluffs of the upper Mississippi River Valley in Minnesota, WSU offers a number of recreational, cultural, and entertainment opportunities for the campers’ families while their runners train on campus.

“Families can drop off their runners knowing they will receive a great week of training. The local area has a lot for them to see and do, from a Mississippi river cruise to visiting the local wine region,” says Jan O’Connor, Executive Vice President of US Sports Camps. “You will return to find your child with a renewed enthusiasm for the sport and ready to take on their fall season.”
This Nike XC Camp is open to runners of all abilities, ages 12-18, from beginners to state champions. The only requirements needed are the desire to have fun and to be the best you can be! The camp is designed to teach the fundamentals of cross country. The emphasis is on providing a great, fun-filled learning week.
