Winter Distance Camp
“Everyone trains in the summer. Champions train all year long!”
Due to the unknown circumstances related to COVID-19 and the indoor nature of this event which brings kids from around the area together, we’ve sadly decided to cancel camp for 2020.
Big River’s Winter Distance Camp for 6th – 12th graders is a great way to get a jump start on the upcoming track season or to build a base for winter training. Join us for a fun four days of training, the opportunity to meet other runners, the chance to learn from some of the best runners in the St. Louis area and, of course, to have a lot of fun! Runners will end camp feeling motivated and excited to reach their goals.
