LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – This summer marks a historic milestone for one of the longest-running endurance training experiences in the country. Jeff Galloway’s iconic Lake Tahoe Running Camp returns for its 50th year, celebrating half a century of empowering runners with the proven Run-Walk-Run method. The 2025 edition of the camp promises to be the most memorable yet, with a powerhouse lineup of experts and a groundbreaking announcement that is set to energize the running community.

Since the Tahoe Running Camp is sold out, the community is invited to run with Galloway on Wednesday at 6 a.m. – you need to be an early riser as they get on the trails to kick-start their brains with early morning workouts! Join them at the trailhead near Sunnyside on Wednesday at 6 a.m., or if you prefer, jump into the Lake for a Tahoe plunge at 7:15 a.m. The trailhead is located at 1810 W. Lake Blvd., Tahoe City.

This is open to everyone in the Tahoe community to just walk on the trail and enjoy some time with Olympians Jeff Galloway and Jenny Simpson, and all of the run-walk-run campers.

Simpson, a three-time Olympian and World and Olympic medalist, is attending the camp as a featured guest and will make a special announcement — she is officially joining the Galloway Training family as a coach. Known for her tactical brilliance and unmatched experience on the track and roads, Simpson’s transition into coaching with Galloway Training represents a new era of mentorship and inspiration for runners of all levels.

Joining Jeff and Jenny at the camp are:

  • Chris Twiggs, Galloway’s Chief Training Officer and pace team director for major marathons worldwide
  • Carissa Galloway, RDN, registered dietitian, race announcer, and co-host of the 321 Go! podcast, bringing expert guidance on performance nutrition and everyday wellness
  • Rebecca Jones, PT, a leading physical therapist who specializes in injury prevention, recovery, and functional movement for runners

Held in Lake Tahoe from July 27 to August 1, the Galloway Running Camp is a week-long retreat that blends personalized coaching, community, and scenic runs in the perfect altitude training environment. Campers will experience daily workouts tailored to their pace and goals, expert-led seminars, one-on-one guidance, and unforgettable camaraderie with fellow runners. 

“This camp has been the heart of our training philosophy for 50 years,” said Jeff Galloway, U.S. Olympian and founder of the Galloway Method. “We’ve seen lives changed, goals achieved, and friendships formed that last a lifetime. With Jenny Simpson joining our team, we’re opening a new chapter that honors our past while building toward an even more exciting future.”
