3rd Annual Penticton, BC PHAT Camp

Mercury Rising Triathlon is pleased to announce our infamous triathlon camp (affectionately coined PHAT camp for no other reason than because it sounds cool!) will be taking place in Penticton, BC again this year: July 8th - July 15th, 2012.

This camp is open to EVERYONE and ANYONE! You don't have to be an MRT athlete to participate and reap the rewards of a solid block of training!

You can expect an intensive tri camp that focuses on both volume and quality in all three disciplines, all under the careful guidance of our professional coaches. PHAT Camp is also perfect timing for those athletes prepping for Ironman Canada and Calgary 70.3.

The MRT PHAT camp includes:
