Oro Valley, AZ – After 15 years of coaching HFP’s annual training camp in Helen, GA I decided to head to warmer climates in Oro Valley, AZ in 2019. To better get to know the area and local training facilities I hand selected veterans of our camp to do the first year recon. The consensus from the 2019 camp was overwhelmingly positive to make the move to Oro Valley, AZ permanent. For 2020, we opened up the field to include more athletes and provided on course mobile support during all bike rides, giving campers the opportunity to stockpile nutrition and apparel needs. This became an important upgrade to the camp as athletes from A to C group riders were able to be fully supported on rides that took some more than 5 hours to complete. A huge thanks to Infinit Nutrition for their awesome support of the camp keeping us fueled (Infinit Nutrition GO FAR) and alert (Infinit Nutrition COLD BREW) the entire week.

I sincerely appreciate the continued support of this camp and have personally created long standing friendships through this annual camp that will last a lifetime. If you want a true epic test and a week to push you past your limits than mark your calendar for February 28 – March 7, 2021.

I look forward to pushing you to another level.

Coach Shannon Kurek
