Are you ready to elevate your trail running game? Join us for Durmitor SkyCamp 2025, a one-of-a-kind trail running camp nestled in the heart of Montenegro’s Durmitor National Park. From July 14-20, 2025, this camp is the perfect opportunity to enhance your uphill/downhill running techniques, train for significant elevation gains, and learn how to adapt to high-altitude conditions—all while surrounded by stunning mountain landscapes.
A Camp for Every Trail Runner Aged 18 and Above
Whether you're an experienced runner looking to master new techniques or just someone with a passion for trail running, Durmitor SkyCamp welcomes all runners aged 18 and older. For those under 18, parent or guardian consent is required. You’ll be surrounded by a supportive community, expert coaching, and the opportunity to challenge yourself on technical mountain trails.
What You’ll Learn and Experience
At Durmitor SkyCamp, we focus on uphill/downhill running techniques to help you conserve energy and improve your efficiency on technical terrains. You’ll also learn how to run at high altitudes, with accommodations in Žabljak at 1,500 meters and runs reaching elevations up to 2,500 meters.
Here’s what you can expect:
1. Guided Trail Runs with Elevation Gains: Push yourself on challenging trails with steep ascents and technical descents, learning to navigate the terrain like a pro.
2. Workshops on Uphill & Downhill Running Techniques: Discover how to improve your form and minimize injury while conquering steep climbs and descents.
3. Strength & Conditioning Sessions: Tailored workouts to help you build the muscle and endurance necessary for high-elevation trail running.

5. Expert Coaching & Educational Workshops: Our coaches will guide you through every aspect of trail running, from race preparation to recovery strategies.
