Description

The 2024 Greater Cleveland XC Camp is geared for the beginner to the advanced runner, who are looking to have a better focus on the fundamentals of cross country running and conditioning, to obtain maximum benefit. Through group runs, guest speakers, and group activities, each runner will leave with a positive attitude, tools to become an improved runner, and a better understanding of running. The XC camp will be held Tuesday, July 23rd through Saturday, July 27th from 8 am until 11:30 am at Shore Middle School in Mentor, Ohio. The camp is open to boys and girls from kindergarten through 12th grade. While being able to utilize the school facilities, the camp also features an outdoor amphitheater for group activity, a cross country course, access to a Lake Metropark, miles of bike paths, and rural trails through the Mentor Marsh for training. The Greater Cleveland XC Camp is aware that our campers represent a wide variety of talents, motivations, and experience and we are prepared to tailor our camp to each person’s needs. We hope each camper leaves with the love and passion that the staff at the Greater Cleveland XC Camp has. This year's camp will be the 21st edition of helping young people get better in the sport of cross country.
