Campers train with collegiate and high-school coaches, run daily in the surrounding national forest, and attend education and guest-speaker sessions, staying in air-conditioned dorms. Multiple sessions begin in July.

★★★★★ron wExcellent facilities, adequate support staff and speakers. Great activity programs. The program is nestled on UNC Asheville campus.
★★★★★Elise GildeaAttended this camp and it helped me establish a better relationship with running and I made friends that will last forever, but i will not return simply because of the buzzard bait run at the end of the week. it was hell.
★★★★Noriko WalkerMy teen has been to this camp the past two years and has enjoyed it. It is age-appropriate and a good blend of run and fun. There were some delays with the bus this year and the cafeteria food was better last year.
★★★★★Seth BrahneyBeen going here for 4 years now and I love it here. The staff is great, venues are great, and I could give this place a rating lower than a 10/10.
★★★★Dee Dee GuzmanGreat running camp! Love the staff on the phone that helps with registration. Jan O’Connor in particular is very helpful during the registration process. My son has attended the camp for 4 years. He attends with his coach and other runners from his school. Although definitely a running camp with a lot of running, he really enjoys it and appreciates how much it helps him get in shape for cross country in the fall.
