The Rob Krar Trail & Ultra Camp

Trails, Community & Friendship

Since launching our first running camp in the summer of 2015, my wife Christina and I have been deeply touched by the connections we've made with the trail and ultra running community. Our goal remains to provide an inspirational, educational, and truly unique running experience.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Our camps are designed to offer a once-in-a-lifetime experience. In a small-group setting (maximum of 11 guests) that allows for generous individual attention, you will run alongside us in some of our most beautiful and favorite training locations.

Our camps include guided trail runs over various terrains, distances, and altitudes. We design the runs to accommodate a wide range of goals and paces, often utilizing one-way or looped routes to maximize new terrain. Daily run distances typically range from 8–11 miles, with options for additional mileage if time permits. Several experienced guides accompany each run.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Our camps are ideal for beginner to intermediate level trail and ultra runners, though we welcome all abilities. We've hosted guests ranging from 18 to 71 years old including experienced road runners, seasoned ultra runners, and those just starting on the trails.

The camps are best suited for runners who are healthy and in good fitness with some experience in trail running or a strong interest in learning about it. You absolutely DO NOT need to be an advanced competitive runner to attend. Our guests are encouraged to run at a comfortable pace and choose daily distances that align with their personal training goals and comfort level.

If you have any hesitation about whether you are "good enough" or experienced enough, please send me a message using the CONTACT ROB button below. This is the most common question I receive and my response has nearly always been "this is the camp for you". Beginner and intermediate runners are our ideal guests and often have the most to gain.

WHY SHOULD YOU JOIN US

Our overarching goal is to provide a balanced, informative, and rewarding experience centered on running, education, and community connection. We aim to bring the ultra running community together to learn not only from me but from each other. Many of our friends—avid and experienced trail runners themselves—join us as guides to share their knowledge throughout the camp. We feel fortunate to share our home and knowledge with trail runners from around the globe.

"An experience that not only strengthens you as a runner, but also shapes your confidence, self-awareness, and spiritual well-being as an individual. In a truly exceptional setting, with the wisdom and motivation of truly exceptional people, the powerful bonds and memories that were shared will carry forward beyond camp… A springboard for success, on and off the race course, supported by a close network of friends, inspired by happy trails, and happy thoughts."
