Join Assistant Coach Nicole Matysik at the Cal Cross Country Camps and take your game to the next level!
This summer running camp offers athletes the opportunity to train in the same environments used every day by the California Golden Bears. Each day, campers will explore some of the most beautiful and iconic running locations in Berkeley, including the fire trails above campus, the scenic routes through Wildcat Canyon Regional Park, and sessions at the historic Edwards Stadium. These venues provide a dynamic training experience with varied terrain, incredible views, and the same paths where collegiate athletes prepare and compete.
In addition to daily runs and skill development, campers will hear from an exciting lineup of guest speakers, including professional runners, Division I athletes, Division I head coaches, and strength and conditioning specialists. Each speaker session will include an interactive Q&A, giving campers the chance to ask questions, gain insight into collegiate and professional running, and learn practical strategies they can apply to their own training and development. Together, these experiences create an inspiring and educational environment designed to help young runners grow both as athletes and as students of the sport.
All Cal Sports Camps are open to any and all entrants. For your safety and benefit, we recommend you choose a camp that fits your level of development. All events are subject to change based on NCAA. Due to high demand and limited capacity, prices are subject to increase as camp exceeds 25%/50%/75% capacity.
