The 2010 Impact MultiSport Base-Camp is 4 days of aerobic intensity triathlon training, with the primary focus on cycling. This is an opportunity for athletes to get together and have a weekend of training, in a fun atmosphere.

Impact MultiSport coaches and group leaders will guide cycling routes in the Penticton area that many visiting athletes don't usually experience. Riders will be grouped by ability and/or desired ride distance (or time) for each day. Local athletes will guide each group and back-up support vehicles will be on hand for each ride. See schedule below for recommended ride distances.

In addition to the cycling, group runs are also organized and one swim session at the Penticton Community Center pool. To enhance recovery and the fun factor of the weekend, 2 Yoga classes will be included. Shioki Yoga has a great program suited to cyclists and triathletes.

Also included is a Buffet Dinner and BaseCamp souvenir package.
