Unleash Your Limits on the Historic Lycian Way

Are you ready to run where the majestic Taurus Mountains meet the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean? The S4H Trail Running Camp is a premium, tailor-made training experience designed specifically for multi-sport and endurance athletes. Optimized for the crisp, perfect training weather of January, February, and March, this program balances high-performance efforts with raw, untouched nature.

  • S4H Sunrise Routine: Start your mornings with our signature beachside "Athlete Talk" sessions, fueled by our custom mobile outdoor espresso bar.
  • Unmatched Support: Run with peace of mind. Our program includes professional local guides (lead and sweep), dedicated support vehicles equipped with hydration and nutrition every 7–10 km, and all historic site admissions.
  • Local Culture: Re-energize with traditional home-hosted lunches in local villages and celebrated sunset gathering dinners.
