Certified Skyrunning Camps that Take You Higher

US Skyrunning Camps feature route metrics comparable to SkyRace® and Vertical Kilometer® standards set by the International Skyrunning Federation.

Train with experienced coaches in the most inspiring alpine playgrounds, developing the skills to tackle technical skyrunning terrain.

If you crave steep scrambles, via ferrata sections, exposed ridgelines, and summit-bound routes—these camps are for you.

Check out photos from our first skyrunning camp held in italy 2025!

If you’re a camp director and want to know if your camp is a US Skyrunning Certified Camp, fill out the form below (there’s no cost). 

Obviously we understand that many of these questions may depend on weather and athlete abilities, and back up route plans may be on less technical terrain. 

Other than routes meeting skyrunning criteria, US Skyrunning simply requires that all members of the camp be US Skyrunning Vert Members. It’s a $30 membership and includes benefits including deep discounts on outdoor brands with Expert Voice and our US Skyrunning Newsletter- It’s a pretty great deal!
