Welcome to


Running Camp

If you’re looking for a summer running camp where you can bond with your teammates, learn a little bit about running, and (most importantly) have an amazing time, you’ve come to the right place! Camp Hickory Hill Running Camp is geared towards high school runners of all abilities, with the goal of improving their summer training for the coming season and beyond.

Ushered along routes by our elite staff, comprised entirely of collegiate and professional runners, campers at Camp Hickory Hill will choose to run when they like best, as we provide the choice of morning, noon, and late afternoon runs. Campers will love the scenic and challenging running routes that border our 77 acre campsite, located just outside of Columbia, Missouri. Nestled in the rolling foothills of the Ozark Mountains, Camp Hickory Hill is surrounded by gravel roads that criss-cross a variety of farmland, slow-moving creeks, quiet ponds, and thick woods, providing the ideal setting for training.

Additionally, Camp Hickory Hill has a variety of activities that other running camps cannot possibly provide. Instead of sitting through hours of hum-drum lectures, our campers will experience all that CHH has to offer, including rock climbing, fishing, canoeing, zip-line, challenge course, and spelunking inside of Holton Cave. If that sounds like a little too much for the legs after a morning run, campers are welcome to lounge by our pool and work on their tan, or go back to their cabin for a quick nap.

Less than ten minutes from highway 70, Camp Hickory Hill is a slice of nature, far enough away from the hum of the city to experience the wonder of nature, but close enough to benefit from Columbia’s services.
