Highly recommend as it greatly adds to the experience at camp. From the Coaches Get ready to work hard, have fun and learn a ton!
Since 2010, RTA has hosted LOTS of training camps in Lake Placid. In fact, our Lake Placid camp in May of 2025 marked our 40th camp IN LP. Over the years, we have PERSONALLY coached 150+ athletes for IRONMAN Lake Placid (MANY first timers as well as several Ironman World Championship Qualifiers). We have raced it personally, a combined 12 times. Additionally, we have a townhome in LP and have been visiting the Adirondacks year-round since 2010. As a result, we know the area and virtually every inch of the course. Whether you are racing IRONMAN Lake Placid or just looking for an incredible training weekend in a beautiful area in prep for a different triathlon, we invite you to join us at this camp. We welcome you to experience and enjoy our favorite place on earth. -Coaches Chris & Elizabeth |
I cannot say enough about RTA’s KYAH training camps. The information and training I received at camp completely prepared me for race day. Everyone at camp was so friendly and supportive.” -Susan |

RTA Triathlon — Camp Refund & Deferral Policy
We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise, impacting your ability to attend. However, to ensure the best experience for all participants and manage camp resources effectively, we have established the following cancellation policy: No Refunds: All camp registrations are non-refundable, regardless of the reason for cancellation. Deferrals & Credits If your plans change, we want to work with you. Here's how it works based on how far out you notify us: Notice Given, What We Can Offer: 60+ days before camp Full deferral of your registration fee to the same camp the following year 14–59 days before camp 50% credit of your registration fee toward the same camp the following year Less than 14 days before camp No deferral or credit available |
Important notes:
In the rare event that RTA must cancel a camp due to extreme circumstances — such as natural disasters, severe weather, government-imposed restrictions or anything outside of our control — we will work with registered athletes to assess the best path forward, which may include rescheduling the camp or issuing a credit toward a future camp. Refunds will not be issued under these circumstances. Want Full Protection? We strongly recommend that all camp participants consider purchasing travel or event insurance prior to camp. A policy can protect your investment in the event of illness, injury, or other unforeseen circumstances that may prevent you from attending. As an added option at checkout, Active.com offers "ACTIVE Refund" for an additional fee, which makes your registration 100% refundable under their terms. This is a service provided by Active.com — please review their terms and conditions at checkout for full details. |
Policy effective January 1, 2015. RTA Triathlon reserves the right to update this policy at any time. Registered athletes will be subject to the policy in effect at the time of registration.

The La Torre brothers, earned MASSIVE PR's at IM Lake Placid
We have done 6 camps with RTA. Each go according to plan: hard work, great education and a lot of fun. The level of professionalism and leadership is outstanding. I have always been very impressed with the logistics and preparation behind the scenes." - Fernando & Giancarlo |
Coach E and Marlene at the Ironman swim start
I went to RTA’s Training Camp in Lake Placid and it was by far the best thing I did in the lead up to my race. I came home feeling 100% confident I could complete the race." -Marlene |

Campers reflect on KYAH...
This camp is finished! I really saw what I was made of this week. Getting through the past 4 days proved to myself I was ready for 140.6. Thanks to RTA for running the hardest/best camp on the planet :) -Khaleeqa |
KYAH’s May camp exceeded every expectation I had. As a non-RTA member, I wasn’t sure what to expect in terms of how much personal attention I’d get. The other members of the group were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and I felt right at home. -Matt T |
My first KYAH experience was just amazing. I learned so much and also got to know some inspiring people who push themselves everyday. Going in, I thought this was going to be over my head, but I surprised myself with what you can accomplish with the right people by your side. -Eric K |
The camp provided an excellent transition from Olympic distance to Half IM all in the beautiful, Lake Placid environment. Above all, I got to know some fantastic, supportive people. In such an individualized sport, it’s great to give and receive encouragement. These are the types of experiences I will never forget. - Pete |
