Overseas Training – Spain 2016

Join thetrilife.com for a superb week of warm weather training in Andalucia, Southern Spain in 2016.

The 2015 Overseas Training Camp was our best yet, and if you want to get a feel for what the athletes thought then head to the Spain Camp Feedback Page. You can also check out the reflections on Spain, written by one of the Spain Camp coaches.

Following the success of the 2015 camp, we will again be basing next years’ camp in the stunning surroundings of Desert Springs, located in The Almonzara. The climate here has been described as the best climate in the world, enjoying the warmest, sunniest and driest winter of the whole of the coast of Spain and Europe.

The Location
