Lake Placid Triathlon Training Camp

This is what we do.

Lake Placid Triathlon Training Camp

Experience the Ironman Lake Placid course during our 2-day or 4-day Lake Placid triathlon training camp to be held June 6-9, 2024.

Lake Placid offers some of the most iconic and challenging training for triathletes. Our training camp is excellent for:

Race-specific training for Ironman Lake Placid 140.6 – all abilities are welcome.

Preparation for other hilly triathlon courses in mid to late summer or early fall, such as IRONMAN Mont Tremblant, IRONMAN Canada, IRONMAN Wisconsin, and IRONMAN 70.3 Louisville (to name a few!).

Improving your overall knowledge and ability in triathlon – we work closely with each athlete throughout the weekend.

Building community and camaraderie.

Our Lake Placid Triathlon Training Camp will help you achieve your big dreams, with supported workouts, educational clinics, and small group-based instruction.

We promise an experience as epic as your surroundings!
