Desert Endurance: Tucson Triathlon Camp

Presented by Sonic Endurance & No Limits Endurance Coaching
March 18–22, 2026 | Tucson, Arizona

Train Hard. Learn More. Have fun in the desert sun.

Ready to kick your 2026 season into high gear? Join the coaching teams from Sonic Endurance and No Limits Endurance Coaching for four unforgettable days of triathlon training, education, and community in beautiful Tucson, Arizona — one of the best winter endurance training destinations in the U.S.

You’ll swim, bike, and run under the desert sky, tackle the legendary Mt. Lemmon climb, and refine your form, fueling, and mindset with personalized guidance from our team of four experienced endurance coaches. Whether you’re training for your first race or building fitness for your best season yet, you’ll leave camp fitter, smarter, and more confident in your abilities.

Current team members of Sonic Endurance and No Limits Endurance Coaching get $50 off registration fees. Contact maria@nolimitsendurance.com for the code. 

The camp is based out of Homewood Suites Tucson, where we have secured a room block at a reduced rate of $189 per night + tax. Rooms are double occupancy, with 2 beds (a king and a full-sized sleeper sofa), if you'd like to split a room with another camper. 

Camp price does not include this lodging. However, your camp registration does allow you to attend the nightly dinners and educational sessions, which will be held at this location. 

If you would like to stay at the Camp Headquarters, please use this booking link to reserve your room. 

If you would like to share a room with a fellow camper but don't have a roommate yet, please contact maria@nolimitsendurance.com. We'll keep a list of people looking for roommates and help foster connections as needed. 

The following schedule is offered as a tentative outline for our camp. Details are subject to change as we get closer to the event. However, this gives you the flavor of what we'll be doing, and how you can best prepare. 

As a reminder: We strongly recommend the following as minimum continuous training: 2500 yard swim, 3 hour bike (plus preparation for hilly terrain), 90 minute run or hike.

Please note:  

• Lodging is not included in the registration price. See the lodging section for information on specially priced rooms for the duration of camp. Book a room at the camp hotel by clicking here. 
• Airfare or transportation is not included in the registration price. PHX will be a less expensive airport; Tucson is more convenient. Personal transportation to/from the airport is not provided. 

You won’t be a number in a crowd. We limit registration to just 25 athletes, ensuring you get the personal coaching and attention you deserve throughout the camp.

This isn’t a “follow-the-leader” style training getaway — it’s a fully coached experience focused on base endurance, skill development, and confidence building across swim, bike, and run. Varied abilities are welcome, and every session is designed to meet you where you are.

To be prepared for the training durations, we advise all campers to be able to:

• Swim a minimum of 2500 yards
• Bike 3-4 hours continuously, and be prepared for hilly terrain
• Run (or hike) 90 minutes continuously
• For more information, see our tentative itinerary. 

Our staff of USAT-certified, highly experienced coaches brings over 50 years of combined coaching and racing experience. That means real-time feedback, on-course support, and hands-on instruction from professionals who have helped hundreds of athletes perform at their best. 

You’ll take part in practical, skills-based clinics to help you find greater efficiency — more speed for the same effort. Plus, you’ll enjoy educational presentations, camp dinners, and open Q&A sessions where you set the agenda.

This camp strikes the perfect balance of training hard and playing hard — challenging workouts, big climbs, and plenty of recovery time to laugh, learn, and connect. You’ll leave Tucson stronger, smarter, and ready to thrive in the season ahead.
