Marathon Running Camp with Stephen Vuckovic, Phil Price, Ron Hill MBE & Team

Once again Club La Santa are happy to welcome you to the Marathon Running Camp. Both marathon and distance running have been increasing in popularity in recent years; this camp gives you the opportunity to sample the challenging terrain of the volcanic island of Lanzarote.

The undulating terrain and sandy trails will be good training for athletes competing in one of the spring or summer marathons now available or any other distance race. It could also be used for those athletes looking for the endurance phase of their training for shorter distance races.

The training

Athletes able to run up to a 4:15 marathon will be catered for and we will have experienced coaches and athletes looking after you. You can see from the programme that we will arrange a variety of runs, one of which will be on the small nearby island of La Graciosa. Additionally, there will be some technical work, track sessions and optional races.

There will also be lectures and at the end of the week, we will have a dinner in the restaurant, La Casa, where companions can join us by paying 26€ for a 3 course meal and a half bottle of wine.

As well as the running we will be offering you some alternative methods of improving your fitness and technique on land and in the pool.

Participants must come prepared for the heat and terrain with good shoes, a hat, sun cream and water bottle carrier. It will be a typical Club La Santa event where you have the chance to meet other athletes from all around the world. The main language spoken will be English.
