Press On Running Summer Camp 2026

Details

Summer training program for all levels of runners.

Welcome! Press On Running is back for our 14th year to bring you Press On Summer Running Camp. We are excited to bring you a memorable, safe, summer running experience full of fast runs and good times.

This program will focus on the conditioning of runners of all levels--modifying workouts to fit their needs. It will focus on the building of a base mileage and offer speed and agility training that will translate to sports beyond cross country. As the summer progresses, there will be an introduction of workouts that range from fartleks, tempos/thresholds, and hills - once each runner's fitness level calls for it. Focus will be given to body strengthening through calisthenics and stretching to ensure a perfectly developed runner and help them stay injury free.
