Welcome

Camp Marafiki -
(Swahili for Friends)

Having the opportunity to attend the Santa Fe Opera shouldn’t be your only reason for signing up for Camp Marafiki. Nonetheless, registration does indeed include a highly coveted ticket to the Santa Fe Opera and a delicious pre-opera tailgate dinner.

We will cover a lot in one week, and Running Trail in Santa Fethose brave enough to attend will be treated to an intense, exhausting, and inspirational running experience. Camp Marafiki gives you the opportunity to experience a typical week of training with the world's best. We don't guarantee future success, and we don't plan on giving out ALL our secrets. What we do hope is to instill valuable techniques that you will be able to incorporate into your own training and make you a better runner.

Training sessions will take place once or twice daily at elevations between 7,000 and 12,000 feet. A midweek sightseeing tour of the surrounding lands will offer runners the opportunity to experience the grandeur of Northern New Mexico's arresting beauty.

Dates: July 27 - August 2, 2008

Cost: $395-995 Please see registration for details
