June 25-27th in Eugene, Oregon during the Olympic Trials. Run Pre's Trail, meet elite athletes, go to the big meet in the afternoon.

July 19-23rd join us in Couer d' Alene, Idaho. We're back at Camp Lutherhaven on Lake Couer d' Alene. Last year was amazing and we can't wait to get back there.
The camp has recently been updated so it's more like a resort than a camp.

August 2-6th the Elite Middle Camp is near Mt. Hood at Welches, Oregon. One side of the camp borders the Salmon River and the rest is in the tall fir trees.
A great location to get refreshed and get charged up for your cross country season.

You'll meet Legendary Coach Pat Tyson who is now the Distance Coach at Gonzaga University. While he was the coach at Mead High School in Spokane, Washington the Harriers achieved an impressive record of 180-8 in one of the toughest dual-meet leagues in the nation. Reaching state competition 18 consecutive years to win 12 state titles, they never placed worse than third place. During that time, the Harriers had a nine-year streak when they never lost a competition. In his last three years at Mead, Tyson's teams placed third, fourth, and fifth at the Nike Team National Championships held in Portland, Oregon. Pat was also Steve Prefontaine's roommate at the University of Oregon and will have plenty of stories to tell.
