The Running Camp Experience — Built for Adults
September 16-19, 2027
Remember running camp? Early morning runs. Trails. Cabins. Meals with your teammates. Hanging out at night. Running more miles than you could count.
RunningWorks Back to Camp brings that experience back — this time for adults.
Back to Camp is a multi-day adult running camp designed for runners who want to get away, put in some miles, meet other runners, and enjoy everything that made camp great in the first place.
No kids. No mandatory activities. No complicated schedule you have to follow.
Come to run. Come to relax. Come to hang out. Do as much—or as little—as you want.
Minimum Age: 25
WHAT IS BACK TO CAMP?
Back to Camp is an adult running getaway built around the traditional sleepaway running-camp experience.
You’ll stay at camp, run beautiful routes, eat together, and have access to organized activities throughout your stay.
The difference?
You’re an adult now.
Every activity is optional. Want to join the morning run? Great. Want to sleep in? Also great.
Want to run twice? Go for it. Want to spend the afternoon relaxing instead? That’s your call.
This isn’t a training camp where someone is going to tell you how many miles you need to run.
It’s a few days to get away and enjoy running and camp again.
ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE
Thursday – Sunday
Arrival: Thursday afternoon. Arrive, get settled into your accommodations, explore camp, and get ready for the weekend.
Departure: Sunday after breakfast
Your stay includes accommodations for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, with camp concluding after breakfast on Sunday.
THE RUNNING
Running is at the center of the weekend, but your mileage is entirely up to you.
We’ll provide organized runs and route options for different distances and abilities throughout camp.
Whether you’re training for your next race, getting back into running, or just looking forward to running somewhere different with a group of people who love the sport, you’ll be able to make the experience your own.
THE CAMP EXPERIENCE
Back to Camp isn’t just about the miles.
A huge part of running camp has always been everything that happens between the runs.
Expect the classic sleepaway camp atmosphere—with an adult upgrade.
Cabins. Camp meals. Trails. Games. Activities. Time to relax. Nights hanging out with other runners.
THE CAMP SCHEDULE
Nothing is mandatory.
We’ll put together a full schedule of runs, activities, meals, and opportunities throughout camp.
Participate in everything.
Participate in some of it.
You choose you participation level.
WHO IS BACK TO CAMP FOR?
Back to Camp is for adult runners age 25 and older.
You don’t need to be an elite runner.
You don’t need to be training for a marathon.
And you definitely don’t need to be as fast as you were in high school or college.
If you enjoy running, being active, meeting other runners, and the idea of spending a few days at camp sounds like fun, you’ll fit right in.
Come by yourself, bring your running group, or convince the teammates you haven’t run with in years to get the crew back together.
