Trossachs Training Camp 2011

Entry Form Available here.
I am pleased to announce that by popular demand, the TTC is a goer again for 2011. Taking place from the evening of Friday 16th September through to around lunchtime on Sunday 18th September. The residential event offers a focussed weekend of training, education, food and fun in the idyllic setting of the Trossachs Backpackers Hostel just outside Callander.

The programme of running sessions (4 running sessions over the 3 days) will be interspersed with some fun conditioning sessions and this year David Nuggent of Ace Physiotherapy has volunteered to come along and impart his wisdom and experience of injuries and injury prevention in two talks. All runs will be in equal ability packs and this year we will have 5 pack leaders specially selected from within the ranks of the Harriers coaches. As usual we will cater from all abilities from beginners, through jolly joggers to the competitive harrier types.

We shall retire to the Lade Inn for dinner on Friday and Saturday evening whilst Saturday and Sunday lunches will be provided in the usual comprehensive buffet format. Breakfast is a help yourself affair from the hostel kitchen. Accommodation is in nicely furnished dorms each with their own en-suite facilities. For those who have not been to the TTC before, the hostel is a privately owned business along the lines of a scaled up bed and breakfast establishment, so is far from basic. Places are restricted by the accommodation to a maximum of 28 people.

For this year we have raised the price for the first time in two years. The cost for the weekend will be £65 per person. This includes two nights accommodation, 2 x 2 course dinners at the Lade Inn (third course may be taken for an additional £4 payable on the night), 2 x buffet lunches, 2 x breakfasts, all coaching sessions and talks and a technical fabric event T-shirt.

The entry form and flyer are available at this link. Completed forms and payments should be returned to Genevieve at ATHelite in Hamilton, cheques made payable to Calderglen Harriers. Be quick, the places have filled up fast in the past two years.
