THE INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN TRIATHLON NETWORK INVITES YOU TO ….

The ICTN Triathlon / Endurance Sports Camp

Friday Morning – Sunday Noon, January 27-29, 2006 in Phoenix, AZ

WHO: All endurance athletes, runners, cyclists, duathletes, triathletes, etc. Also, spouses, race directors, coaches and anyone else who wants to attend are more than welcome to come.

WHAT: A 2 1/2 day Spiritual / Physical training camp. We'll have great times together of spiritual encouragement through large group sessions where we'll enjoy fellowship, singing, testimonies, networking and teaching. We have four pastors coming who have all completed Ironman distance triathlons and who will bring inspirational messages to encourage us in the race of life. You will also learn how to help other endurance athletes know where they are in their spiritual journey by using a booklet that is specific to triathlon and easy to understand. To see a copy go to www.StepUpToLife.com and click on "booklet languages" and scroll down to "Triathlete booklet."

We'll also have clinics/workshops, coaching and training (running, biking, swimming, resistance training, stretching, etc.) with some of the nation's best endurance coaches and with some of the world's best pros. This will be an awesome opportunity to further yourself in this sport and to learn from, and be coached by, some of the best.

These will be secured via the registration form and payment for the camp being received, again, as long as there are homes available.

WHY: The ICTN is not a ministry itself but is a network of ministries and individuals. It is an umbrella under which everyone can gather to build friendships, learn from each other and encourage one another. The ICTN Steering Committee feels that an annual, Christ-centered, national high quality camp will be a great way to do this. As far as we know there is nothing like this available at this time in the USA.
