The Rubidoux Boys Cross Country team will have a week-long training camp in Mammoth Lakes during the second week of August. A maximum of 7 athletes will be invited to the training camp.
The purpose of the camp is two-fold: First, we go there to get away from the daily routine of running in Riverside, and use the environment up there to train hard and rigorously! There is no better way to describe it than to say that the running we do in Mammoth is difficult. We train twice a day, the elevation is at 7,700' and higher, the hills are steep and long. The length of each run varies between 5 and 12 miles, but on average the runs last for about an hour. The second purpose of Mammoth is to work on creating a bond between team members.   The long road to success for our team goes through Mammoth Lakes.
Invitations have been extended to those athletes selected for the camp. Runners were selected based on attendance at practice, attitude while at practice, and ability. The camp will include long runs and intense workouts at high altitude. Because of the nature of the difficult training for the week and the safety concerns of running on the mountain trails, athletes must be able to run a minimum of 5 miles without stopping at a reasonable pace.
Other needs for the trip include: good training shoes, a watch with a stopwatch on it, a positive attitude and good academic standing. Athletes who will not be eligible to compete once school starts will not be invited to Mammoth. Athletes who do not attend practice with the team will not be invited to the camp. Those athletes who are in summer school are expected to be at practices Monday through Thursday evenings and Friday and Saturday mornings. The camp is quite expensive for the program, but the cost for the students will be limited to $50. The rest of the cost of the camp will be paid for by donations and sponsorships. For this reason it is important that all members of the team help with fundraising. You can find a copy of the fundraising letter in the handouts link on the left side of the page or linked below.
