The Duluth East Cross Country staff will be hosting a preseason training camp from Tuesday, July 23, to Friday, July 26. We will meet at Lester Park from 3-5 PM on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Friday we will meet at Coach Wicker’s house, 6038 South Pike Lake Road at 9 AM for a run around Pike Lake and some fun in the water.

Anyone in grades 7-12 is welcome. The East coaches and experienced athletes will give an overview of our program and training tips for the upcoming season. All ability levels are encouraged to attend. You can come 4 days or 1 day depending on your schedule. There is no fee and registration can be done on the first day. Everyone should have running shoes, shorts and a water bottle.

We will cover:

  • general training for distance running
  • injury prevention
  • running form
  • strength workouts
  • cross training options

The goal of this mini-camp is to give runners an overview of the cross country program, to meet other runners and to see what our practices are like. Workouts will be set up for runners of all levels.
