Summer Running Camp for High School Student-Athletes Offers Running, Adventure, Travel & Fun

BOCA RATON, Fla. - Jan. 13, 2017 - PRLog -- For the third consecutive year, Run Republic Running Camp (http://www.runrepubliccamp.com/), a Boca Raton-based company, will offer student-athletes the trip of a lifetime. The all-inclusive travel and adventure-filled summer trips will once again feature running, hiking, touring, and a plethora of other location-specific activities designed for the high school student-athlete.

2017 Summer Trips have been announced and include:

·      California Adventure (June 9-16, 2017): Bike across the Golden Gate Bridge, Visit Alcatraz, White Water Rafting, Kayak Lake Tahoe, Hike Yosemite Park, and Explore Monterey and Silicon Valley.

·      Carolina Trails (August 1-8, 2017): Segway tour of the City of Atlanta, Explore Stone Mountain, White Water Rafting and Zip Lining, Hike through DuPont Forest to Waterfalls, and Explore French-inspired Biltmore Estate.

"We believe we have created a running camp experience unlike any other," said Run Republic Running Camp co-founder Doug Horn. "At the core of Run Republic is running. But beyond that, we offer our participants mentorship, training, travel, adventure, friendship, education, fun and excitement. Our goal is to create memories, experiences and bonds during our trips...that go beyond running and truly will last a lifetime!"

Horn, who is the head coach of the Spanish River High School cross country and track teams, founded Run Republic Running Camp with his assistant coach Melissa Perlman in early 2015. Both Horn and Perlman are accomplished mid- and long-distance runners who ran in high school and college and continue to compete today.

Summer 2015 and 2016 attendee Andres Parada, a former high school student-athlete: "I've been on several teen tours throughout the U.S. and Canada, and Run Republic was by far the best. It was very similar to other teen tours, but when you add in the running, closer friendships are built and the experience somehow means so much more!"

Past Run Republic Running Camp trips have included the following destinations:

·      Colorado and Utah (Summer 2015): Snowshoeing in Loveland Pass, UT; Water rafting in Glenwood Springs, CO; Hiking Zion and Arches National Parks; and Frisbee and Zip Lining in Park City, UT.

·      Nevada, Colorado and Utah (Summer 2016):

·      Oregon, Washington (Summer 2016): Track Olympic Trials in Eugene, OR and Weekend in Seattle, WA and along the Northwest Pacific Coast.
