Camp Details
The 2019 Run Tyler cross country camp combines a scenic and safe location with dedicated, professional coaching staff.
Camp athletes will learn to direct their minds and bodies toward attaining goals while enjoying this increasingly popular sport with other like-minded runners. Through professional training, qualified education, and loads of fun, we help create a winning mindset that expands on and off the course. We aim to make achieving “personal best” a trend for our runners.
The Run Tyler Cross Country Camp will help your athlete develop as a runner, provide practical tools to help them achieve championship performances, and set them on a trajectory for a healthy lifestyle!
What can you expect?
A typical morning will consist of dynamic stretching and warmups as athletes convene before starting the run. During the run, athletes are paired together for safety and given instructions regarding the course and hydration points. Post-run cool down and recovery will take place as athletes reconvene and leave for the day. Running sessions throughout the week will include: aerobic efficiency, movement efficiency, and hill workouts. Your athlete will be guided through race strategy, team-building and ways to maximize performance through nutrition.
Training runs will take place on Monday-Friday mornings at 6:45AM. Each day will finish around 8:00-8:15AM. On the last day, Friday, we will have a “team breakfast” at Fresh by Brookshires.

What are the start and end times?
Start time is 6:45AM. We’ll start the warmup with drills at this time. Most runs will commence just before 7AM and we will transition to strength and stretch after.
We will be done with the days training around 8:00-8:15AM each day. The final day, Friday, we will have a “team breakfast.” Parents are encouraged to attend.
How are you ensuring the safety of the athletes?
We will use a buddy-system by placing athletes in pairs. Courses are looped, so the coach can check in on the athletes periodically during the run. The athletes will be running through city parks and trail systems to avoid roadways/traffic. We know Texas summers are hot! Our athletes will have the ability to take in plenty of fluids while they train. Athletes are also welcome to run with their phones/smart watches.
