Nature's power is undeniable, and anyone who has embraced the outdoors understands the unpredictability it brings. Running amidst the serenity of single-track forest trails, navigating steep slopes, and exploring new paths involve inherent risks. The dynamic nature of the trail increases the likelihood of slipping or falling, emphasising the critical need for runners to remain vigilant at all times—no exceptions!
To ensure your safety and well-being, All In Running extends adventure and sports insurance coverage to all participants throughout the camp's duration. This commitment reflects our dedication to your security during every trail run. It's essential to note that standard health insurance doesn't cover adventure and outdoor activities, such as hiking or trail running. Surprisingly, even injuries during a road marathon may not be covered by your insurance provider.
During all trail runs, a designated member of our support team, will carry a basic first aid kit. Multiple team members are certified in CPR and first aid response. In the event of a serious fall or injury, cooperation from the individual is crucial. Since the trails are remote with no access to motorable vehicles, extraction may involve a mule or the assistance of another person. While it might be inconvenient or painful, this is the fastest way to reach the nearest hospital or medical facility, which is typically 2-3 hours away.
While we fervently hope for the well-being of all runners, it's imperative for participants to remain aware of on-ground response and rescue situations at all times. Your safety is our top priority, and we want you to embark on this trail running adventure with peace of mind.
In alignment with the core ethos of trail running, participants are entrusted with the responsibility of being self-sufficient during their runs. This implies that no external support, be it in terms of hydration, food, or any other provision, will be extended during the runs. Runners are required to carry all necessary supplies on their own at all times throughout the outing. Please refer to the gear requirements section for comprehensive information.
We are extremely conscious of our impact on the trail. Each runner is urged to refrain from littering the trail under any circumstances. We follow "leave no trace" principles to show our commitment to preserve the trail in its pristine and natural state. Each runner is encouraged to carry a trash bag for their own waste. At the conclusion of our trail running camp, we diligently collect all our trash and bring it back to the city.
Start your trail running journey fully prepared by tapping into our exclusive pre-camp training materials and webinars. Our seasoned coaches share valuable insights into trail running techniques, strategies, and essential tips to elevate your overall experience. Attend webinars covering topics like fitness conditioning, selecting the right trail gear, and mental preparedness. These sessions are crafted to equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary for a trail running adventure.
