This is an out and back, the turn around point will be clearly marked. You are more than welcome to walk or run.

Train with Team OutFront at Keuka Lake for a long-course triathlon camp built to prepare you for your strongest 70.3 or Ironman season yet.

This camp is designed for athletes training for races like Ironman Lake Placid, Musselman 70.3, Ironman Ottawa, and other half and full-distance events. While we won’t be on a specific race course (though partially on Peasantman and the Keuka Tri), every session, route, and coaching opportunity will be intentionally built to help you train for the demands of long-course racing: endurance, climbing strength, pacing, fueling, open water confidence, and race-day execution.

Who is camp for?

-Athletes looking to train hard and have fun, in a team setting

-long distance triathletes of all abilities-though this camp sets you up nicely for summer and fall Ironman racing.

-all athletes looking to increase their fitness and knowledge of long distance training and racing

-athletes seeking fun and camaraderie

What's Included?

• Fun! This is summer sleepaway camp for triathletes!

• 3 nights/3.5 days of long distance training- swim, bike and run around Keuka Lake.

• SAG support and aid stations on our long ride and run days- SUP support on the lake

• Daily clinics and educational talks to prepare yourself for race day
