If you’ve ever competed in Lake Placid Ironman or Half Ironman, you’ve already been past our camp location. Located on River Road near mile 4/6/18/20 of the run course, we are ideally suited for highly focused Half-Ironman/Ironman training.
We differ from other camps in that we offer a full-board, complete immersion experience. You sleep, eat, train and receive structured presentations and support throughout your time at the camp. We’ve been coming to Lake Placid since 2000 and have in-depth experience of the race and preparation for it. Coach Mickey is a multiple IMLP finisher and USAT certified coach and has over 250 total races under his belt. We’re knowledgeable of the surrounding area and know many challenging, extremely scenic training routes in addition to the IMLP course. Having run the camps since 2006, we are in our eighteenth year and have many positive comments regarding the format/structure of camp. To date, our trained athletes have completed their Ironman journey successfully!!! Our campers have had 100% success rate!!!
Camp headquarters is an Adirondack style house located directly on the AuSable River. Exit the drive and you’re on the run course, ride in either direction and you’re on Rt73 or Rt86 sections of the bike course. A 10 minute drive brings you to Mirror Lake.
