Dave Scott triathlon training camps
Limited guests mean you really do get a personal experience on Dave Scott’s camps

Six-time World Ironman Champion turned coach Dave Scott is running triathlon training camps for endurance triathletes of all abilities in 2023. During these camps, Scott promises he’ll make any triathlete faster by teaching them to train smarter, not harder.

Where better than the home of triathlon and tropical mecca of Hawaii to learn how to master each discipline. During five days of tailored coaching on the Big Island, you’ll work directly with the pro himself in every session. A Dave Scott triathlon camp will look to provide nutrition and racing insights, along with videography to discover areas of improvement in your triathlon performance.

The camp will have you training along the Kona Ironman route, with food and accommodation included and located right on the Queen K Highway at the award-winning Four Seasons Resort Hualalai.

These camps are for all fitness levels and abilities, with the only prerequisite being that you’re able to complete an Olympic-distance triathlon. You’ll start with a pre-camp phone consultation with Scott to determine your goals, and you’ll leave the camp with a 90-day strength programme and nutrition guide to ensure your continued improvement once you return home.

The agenda will include coached drills, SAG supported long rides to popular climbs, and TT sessions across each discipline.

The Ardmore Triathlon Camp is in its 15th year running, so athletes should expect a well oiled machine when it comes to the camp’s fully supported swim, bike and run sessions. The four-day camp will take place 20-23 July and will be based by the shores of Lake Murray. Evidently, there’ll be plenty of open water practice, plus rides along the rolling Oklahoma hills, and coached group runs.

Named KYAH (Kick Your Ass Hard), the camps provide high-volume training in the popular US triathlon locations of South Florida and Lake Placid.

The KYAH Florida Camp runs across four sunny days in lakeside accommodation near Pompano Beach.

Explore key sections of the IM Placid bike and run course, and have coached swim sessions in the stunning Mirror Lake. Additional lectures in race fueling, nutrition, logistics and strategy should be all you need to prepare you for race day.


BAM Triathlon Training Camps in St George

Date: 3x camps in March and April 2023
Location: St George, Utah
Price: From $200

Refine your skills on the World Championship St George course

Get to know the Ironman St George race course and be led through some race-specific training by expert coaches in one of the two pre-season fitness build camps run by BAM in Utah. These five-day camps aim to combine high-volume training with specific skill refinement and familiarization with the race course to fully prepare you for the upcoming season.

Aimed at middle- and long-distance athletes, you must be able to swim at least 1km, ride 50km and run 10km continuously for this camp to be suitable for you. During your triathlon training vacation, you should expect to be guided through an individual swim video analysis, to develop your bike skills, and to hone in on your run technique. Core sessions will be supplemented with strength work and nutrition advice specifically for the endurance athletes.

The affordable price is partly down to accommodation and food not being included, so be sure to budget for these when booking. Time your camp right to supplement your training cycle with either the March BAM Training Camp or the April BAM Skills Camp, both set in St George.

Go Big Training Camp

Sessions will be led by triathlon coaches Kyla and Liz, who will also run bike maintenance and open water clinics to help you improve your triathlon skillset and confidence.

Mid-way through the camp there’s the option to enter a local running race along Lake Minneola to consolidate your training. The last night is sure to be a highlight of the camp though as you’ll have the chance to rub elbows with elite triathletes including Brit Jodie Stimpson over your final camp dinner. The training won’t stop on the last day as you’ll be encouraged to book in three follow-up calls with the coaches to keep tabs on your progress.


C26 Triathlon Training Camps

C26 Triathlon Training Camp - Nashville
Nashville is one of the three locations offered by C26

For a choice of short 3-4 day training camps with a specific focus, take a look at these three C26 Triathlon camps running from March to July. If you’d like to work on your all-around triathlon fitness with a pre-season camp in the heart of the US, the C26 Texas Tri Camp ticks those boxes with large group swim, bike, and run sessions where you’ll train with like-minded athletes in a supportive group environment.

Or, head to Nashville in June to boost your peak training phase with the C26 Volume and Intensity Camp. The camp is aimed at all abilities and is session-driven, with multiple pool swims, rides along the smooth roads of Natchez Trace, and undulating trail runs exploring Percy Warner Park.

Those signed up for Ironman Wisconsin (both 70.3 and 140.6) will reap huge benefits from the C26 Wisconsin Camp which guides athletes through race-specific training to prep for the event. All the training sessions will take place on the IM Wisconsin race course, with in-depth race overview and strategy sessions organized to give you the best possible chance of success on race day (…PB incoming).

It’s worth bearing in mind that travel and accommodation is not included in the camp fees, though C26 can help you organize a place to stay during the camp.
