Rio Grande Distance Running Summer Camp

The University of Rio Grande Track & Field program will host its 2014 Distance Camp, July 6-10, on the URG campus.

The objective of the camp is to increase the standards and knowledge of distance running and to provide current knowledge in techniques that will result in life-long benefits.

Campers will hear from a number of guest speakers.

Long-time Rio Grande track & field/cross country head coach Bob Willey will be the camp director. Willey has over 40 years of coaching at the collegiate level and has fostered a program of more than 100 cross country/track & field All-Americans.

Cost is $250 per runner, which includes room, meals and recreation facilities. A $25 discount is available to members of a school with five or more athletes attending. A $25 deposit is required with the return of a camp application, with the balance payable on the participant’s arrival at camp.

On-site registration will take place on Sunday, July 6, from 1-1:30 p.m., at Bob Evans Farm Hall on the URG campus.

Registration forms and the camp brochure are available on the track & field and cross country links of the school’s athletic website, www.rioredstorm.com.
