TTC 2023 is Go

11/07/2023 - List of those registered and deposit paid added towards the end of the post.

Although we still have a few details to sort out with regard to the financing, the Trossachs Training Camp weekend is now open for registration. The event is from around 1730 on Friday 8th September to 1200 on Sunday 10th September and once again we are accommodated in the Dreadnought Hotel, Callander. All of the costs have gone up by around 10% so we have a slight increase in the heavily subsidised cost to participants compared to last year. The cost of the weekend is £95/person. The price includes a shared twin room in the hotel, breakfast goods for Sat/Sun which we shall supply (similar to last year), a lunch voucher for Saturday (alright, it's a fiver, not a voucher) for use in a shop or any of the many eateries near the hotel (the hotel's restaurant has recently been leased to a business who are doing breakfasts/lunches/dinners, so that may be an option but note that it is completely separate to the hotel), 2-course dinners Fri/Sat in the Lade Inn (third course available for extra charge) and the TTC T-shirt. We have an initial block of 10 x twin rooms but can expand this if required. 

The format will be similar to previous years:

Friday

17:30 approx - easy run.

19:30 - dinner at Lade Inn

Saturday

08:30 - medium length run

early afternoon - strength/conditioning/mobility

late afternoon - rep session in the form of a relay

19:30 - dinner at Lade Inn

Sunday

08:00 - long run

12:00 - last check-out from hotel

The training is suitable for all levels of running ability as we will be split into four separate packs, each with a leader. Once we see who is signed up, we will finalise the routes for each run and for each pack to be certain that everyone will manage. The pack leaders will be doing a recce of the routes a week or two in advance to be (reasonably) sure they know where they are taking you on the runs.

Please fill in this on-line form if you wish to register. To secure a place on the TTC, please fill in the form and pay either a £40 deposit or the full amount (speak to Russell for payment options). The list of those who have registered and payed at least the deposit is here (it will be updated every few days when I have confirmation of payment from Russell). Registration is on a first pay first served basis.

If you have any questions, please drop me an e-mail (w.alan.derrick@gmail.com).
