What
A perfect six day mountain getaway designed to teach the foundations of endurance training and the mental preparation needed for a lifetime of fun in running. Includes round-trip transportation from RALEIGH,CHARLOTTE and WILMINGTON NC.
Who Can Go
The camp is open to any runners entering 5th grade through 12th Grade. Our coaching staff is accustomed to working with kids in this age range through our Without Limits Youth Summer Running Program. The program focuses on the fundamentals of running and training in an environment that promotes goal acquisition through teamwork and engaged preparation. In other words, we make training fun and encourage athletes to push themselves to become better.
Many of our campers will be competitive high school and middle school students, however one doesn’t have to be a varsity superstar. Our coaches will facilitate a variety of workouts for skill levels from kids who are new to running – to emerging college athletes. We think having the younger runners learn directly from the older runners and coaches reinforces the tenants of our program.
So while you don’t have to be fast, it is a running camp, and campers are expected – before they leave to go to camp – to be able to run 5 miles (or one hour) without stopping.
Yes, we know: short shorts make you faster. But believe it or not you will need warm clothes in July. Daytime high temperatures up here average in the mid 70s with overnight low temperatures in the lower 50s.
Our athletes stay in college dorms with the close supervision of our awesome staff of coaches and trainers. Food is all you can eat (and boy can they eat) meals prepared by the campus dining hall.
While home base is Lees~McRae, we make daily trips to some of the best running spots in the eastern United States. Waterfalls, trails, and being outside punctuate the mountain running experience. If you like being outside dawn to dusk this is the camp for you.
What the Price Includes
-Six days, and five nights lodging.
-Van transportation to and from camp from Wilmington, NC, Durham, NC or Charlotte, NC
-Nourishing meals, snacks and hydration.
-Camp T-Shirt
-Team hydration bottle
-Training layout, coaching and activities.
-Timed end of camp race – posted on Milesplit (NCRunners).
Campers will need to provide their own spending money for any extras. We will make a mid-week stop at the grocery store for items that may have been forgotten or left behind.

Tom Clifford
Founder, Without Limits Training and Apparel
Always interested in teaching people how to be fit and work hard, Tom started as a personal trainer in a small, local gym. He’s always given 110% (and then some), and credits his work ethic and outlook to his family—mom, dad, brother and sister—who all taught him that to achieve your goals, you’ve got to give it everything you have. As a competitive athlete in college and beyond, he knew how important group training was for motivation. Tom ran for Eastern Michigan University with PRs of 14:39 (5k) and 2:29:32 (26.2)
