This year's camp will be held at Christ Little Rock School utilizing the CLR campus grass fields and upper school property where we host our annual Little Rock Parochial League xc meet each fall.

Kids will learn the fundamentals of cross country running, including tips on different types of training, race day strategies and nutrition/hydration, and exercises to help the runners avoid injuries. Each day will include a short lesson, a workout or relay, and fun, runner friendly games! Our final evening of camp we will run a short time trial and cool off with some fun water activities! Can you tell we like to put a lot of emphasis on having FUN?!
