Lake Placid Triathlon Training Camp

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 70.3 or 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, or Ironman Wisconsin (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!
