Every individual performance service — under one roof, over one long weekend. A full check-up on your training, your body and your race plan, with a proper adventure built in.
A weekend of training and adventure with like-minded athletes — and the depth of personal performance data that would otherwise cost a small fortune to assemble.
The Runner's MOT brings coaching, physiotherapy, biomechanics, nutrition, lab testing and wellbeing consultation together into a single long weekend. You leave with a complete picture of where you stand — and the tools to act on it.

By rail: trains to Windermere station (via Oxenholme on the West Coast Main Line), then a 5-minute taxi or 25-minute walk to the hotel. By car: free guidance on parking sent with your booking. Make your own way to us — everything from arrival onwards is taken care of.
Arrive Friday afternoon in time for the welcome and evening shakeout run; the camp closes after the final 1:1 consults on Monday, with departures from early afternoon. Exact timings confirmed in your pre-camp info pack.
Expect proper Lakeland conditions — cold, wet and windy is all possible, and it's part of the adventure. Trail shoes, waterproofs and warm layers are essential; see the packing list below.
Get in touch via the enquiry page. We'll confirm availability and room options, and a deposit secures your place.
You'll receive a pre-camp pack covering timings, travel, kit and a short questionnaire on your training history — so your 1:1 sessions hit the ground running.
The balance is due 8 weeks before camp. Then just get yourself to Bowness — everything from Friday afternoon is organised.
Each camp runs subject to a minimum number of athletes and is capped at 15–20. We'll confirm your camp is definitely running as soon as the minimum is reached. If a camp doesn't reach its minimum and can't run, everything you've paid — deposit included — is refunded in full. If you're booking travel in advance, please make sure it's refundable or flexible, as we can't cover travel costs if a camp doesn't go ahead.
Deposits are non-refundable. Cancel more than 8 weeks before camp and any balance paid is refunded; within 8 weeks no refund is available, though we'll always try to fill your place from the waiting list. Full details in our camp terms & conditions.
Final pricing for the 13–16 November Launch Camp is being confirmed — room types at Burnhow vary slightly in price, so options will be listed here soon. Enquire now to register your interest and be first to hear.
Full booking terms are in our camp terms & conditions.
The pilot proves the format. From 2027 the Runner's MOT becomes a repeatable fixture on the UK calendar, alongside a larger, more holiday-style edition in summer.
