Under the auspicious of the United States Olympic Committee, and the U.S. Olympic Training Center, has numerous camps throughout the calendar year at the U.S. Olympic Training Center, 196 Old Military Road, Lake Placid, New York 12946.
It is the goal, and the commitment, of the Eastern Regional Elite Distance Camp to create greater interest in higher-level training for the elite junior male and female runners (those less than 20 years of age) in the Northeast region of the United States by developing this Eastern Regional Elite Distance Camp at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Lake Placid in the High Peaks Region of the Adirondack Mountains.
The concept behind this Eastern Regional Elite Distance Camp is to develop elite male and female runners of this region through their early high school years, and beyond, as a primary, early-Olympic developmental program for young distance runners. Training at higher altitudes in the High Peaks Region of the Adirondack Mountains with its 46 peaks over 4000 feet and at the Mt. Van Hoevenberg Recreation Area offer the most ideal training venues in the Northeast United States for endurance training.
