CAMPING WITH HPRS

The Human Potential Running Series is dedicated to the fostering of community at our events through initiatives such as camping at the race site. It should be noted that we do not have the capacity to host camping at all of our start/finish lines, but we do offer camping at most. We have indicated below which races we host camping, and which races you will be on your own. We hope this page will assist all registered runners with making arrangements to camp with us at our events. Email us with questions [email protected]

You should assume that NONE of the HPRS hosted campgrounds have running water, you’ll need to bring your own. Every HPRS campground will have either a pit toilet or porta-potty on site. There will be no electricity hook-ups at HPRS hosted campgrounds. The only exception to the above is Stories Ultra where we have indoor heated bathrooms, showers, electricity, and running water; and Endure Trail Runs where electrical hook-ups are available within the campground.

Where a fee is collected, these fees either go to: a private land owner for land use mitigation, a local non-profit that we support, or HPRS for future trail work efforts. Fee’s are nominal in nature. We also provide tent rentals for those who do not have one, or those who do not wish to travel with one. We have a limited number of rental tents.
