TruStrength Tomorrow

24 hr vertical Benefit challenge Mt Abram

24 HOUR SIGN UP

"TruStrength puts on an awesome "hometown" event! Initially reluctant to make the trip to Maine, from Vermont, we couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised. What a well-organized event! The course was perfectly mapped/flagged with no opportunities to get lost (something we encounter frequently in this type of race). While physically demanding for competitive racers who wanted to really push it, the race was still accessible to newcomers to the sport of skimo. Jesse and his associates were extremely friendly and made the warm-up and post-race times a blast, giving away awesome swag. I'm definitely putting any TruStrength events on my calendar for next year! "

TruStrength "Uphill Will" 24 Hour Skimo

This annual fundraiser event challenges skiers to see how much vertical they can climb on ski, in 24 hours! Will you be able to climb the equivalent of Mt Washington? Or Mt Whitney? Or the Great One Denali? What about Everest in a day!?! (Our current course record is 44,000 ft, come set the new one!)

New this year we are introducing a team relay! How far can you go?!

TruStrength Athletics continues offering its kids rock climbing programs. Each session is 6 weeks long and introduces kids to the dynamic sport of bouldering! Our instructors cover sport safety, climbing techniques and problem solving during these 1 hour weekly sessions. We also use a slackline for balance work and the TreadWall for climbing stamina! This course will raise your athlete's confidence level as well as their fitness.

Registration is limited!
Please email us (Subject line: kids climbing) with your child's information, the session and group they are registering for.

Teen Uphill Ski Program

TruStrength Athletics is thrilled to bring the sport of uphill ski touring to the Oxford Hills teenage community. With the help of our non profit TruStrength Tomorrow, we knocked down the barrier to entry completely and provide everyone in the program with coaching, all of the necessary gear, and the opportunity to get outdoors while trying something new.

Details

Previous downhill ski experience is REQUIRED. We do not teach the fundamentals of alpine skiing.

Transportation to and from the ski mountain is NOT always provided by one of our coaches. Students who are licensed should coordinate with others to carpool if possible.
