Foss Running Camp is celebrating it's 37th year in 2014.  Located in the lakes region of NH in the town of Strafford, Foss is located a mile in on a dirt road on our own pond with a private beach, and we train on terrific running routes on the area's trails, dirt & quiet country roads.  In addition to a great staff of outstanding coaches & runners, including several who are Hall of Fame members, all share their great love of running & knowledge of the sport with the 250+ runners/week who attend Foss.  We also bring in some of the best college & high school coaches, along with national & Olympic calibre runners as guest speakers each year.
Due to the great popularity that Foss has been enjoying in recent years we are already full for 2014.  Our first week actually filled by Sep 30th of last year, and our second week was full by Nov 30th.  We hope that you will consider Foss in your pre-season plans when we get to "2015"!  Look for us at:  fossrunningcamp.org

 

How much running will I be doing at Foss?

Each day run times are scheduled, two or three per day, and each runner will decide how often and how far they willtrain each day based on their level of experience and the amount of training they have done coming into camp. At each run time groups are formed based on these considerations, with 3, 5 and 7 mile runs being most common.

What are the running areas like?

Camp Foss has excellent running trails with 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13 mile loops on mostly dirt roads and some trails. There are several configurations to choose from to do 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, etc. mile runs on these routes. We are located a mile in on a dirt road, and have only country roads, along with miles of dirt roads and trails to train on. We also have some good hills on most of these runs.

What is the age range at camp?

Foss is primarily directed for the high school age runner, thus almost all runners attending camp are 14-18.
