Join us in The Algarve
We offer all inclusive running camps in Praia da Falesia, on the outskirts of Albufeira, Portugal, for participants of all abilities, whether they're running enthusiasts or just starting their fitness journey.
Golden cliffs, sandy beaches and glorious sunsets are just a few reasons why The Algarve is the ideal location for your running camp. Solo guests, friends, couples, running club and fitness group members all are welcome.
Our running camp, unlike many offering just breakfast, includes all meals, unlimited non-alcoholic drinks and locally-grown oranges, plus, free transfers to and from Faro airport.
You have the option of a twin room, shared with another participant of the same gender, or your own private room. to yourself or shared with a friend or partner. Bathroom facilities are shared for all. Some rooms will have a private bathroom but generally, one bathroom between 2 rooms.
We're also unique in that we provide participants with excursions and activities between the morning and evening session, as part of your booking.
Enjoy trips to nearby Albufeira Town, plus a combined afternoon out in Vilamoura Marina and Quarteira.
Additionally, a Benagil cave tour by speed boat, a kayak cave tour (different to Benegail) and a high ropes course. You'll also have one day to yourself to explore or relax and unwind. More details on these further down the page.
Your sessions will take place twice a day to include track - using facilities at Victoria Sport and & Beach hotel - a European Championship cross country course adjacent, the cliff tops nearby, the sandy beach below and quiet roads around Praia da Falesia. We are very fortunate to be located in an area with multiple terrains all within 5 minutes of each other for you to test yourself or, for some, to experience for the first time.
Exercises, warm up routines, stretching, and more alongside brisk walks, jogging and running, with 1km to 10km runs to take part in come the end of the week.
Our coaches will be on hand to offer encouragement, support and advice on everything from methods and techniques to nutrition.

Out and about
Your booking includes a trip to the Benagil Caves by boat, one of the most popular activities for visitors, along with a high ropes course allowing you to circumnavigate your way among the trees, facing obstacles and zip lines as you work your way along. We'll also be taking to the waters on a 2-hour kayak cave tour, admiring the beautiful golden, rocky coastline and blue waters.
Back on land, we shall venture into nearby Albufeira, exploring the old town area, the beach and multiple viewing points, with an opportunity to relax on the beach with some games and a dip in the sea. For those who wish to, it is an opportunity to visit some local shops, grab a coffee, perhaps an ice cream.
Heading east another day, either on a 5km (each way) walk along the cliff tops and paths, or by bus if you'd prefer this, we'll be spending a little time around Vilamoura Marina before continuing on 500 metres into Quarteira, either to explore, or to relax on their sandy beaches.
During your free day between sessions, you can simply relax by the pool, on the beach or consider bike or car hire.

We'll be based at 2 properties (3 for larger camp groups) in Praia da Falesia, less than 2 minutes apart on foot, close to Victoria Sport and Beach hotel, where some of the sessions will take place using their running track and adjacent European Championship Cross Country course.
