🇨🇦 Let’s work together to strengthen track & field programming, participation and the profile of our sport across Canada!
🇨🇦 MARCO AROP WILL BE HERE SOON — TRAIN WITH HIM!
A few spots remain for the Future Stars® Middle Distance Camp with Marco Arop, September 19–20 north of Toronto, Ontario.
Hey Canadian Track & Field friends --->>> athletes, and especially --->>>coaches:
Do you coach a male or female 800 m or 1500 m athlete who could benefit from this opportunity? Please consider presenting this to them ---->>> please SHARE this post with your club, coaches and athletics friends.
We are working with George Short, Future Stars® manager for Marco Arop, to provide an exceptional weekend of training for competitive developing athletes from Ontario and beyond.
Most importantly: this camp is OPEN TO ATHLETES FROM ALL CLUBS.
Athletic Victory Speed is helping host the weekend, but this is not an Athletic Victory training or recruitment initiative. We highly respect the athletes' existing coaches and club programs. The intention is to provide an additional learning experience that athletes can take back to their own coaches, training groups and clubs.
Two full days --->>> September 19 & 20 - 9:00 AM–4:00 PM
📍 Toronto Track & Field Centre, York University
🏃 800 m / 1500 m middle-distance focus
💪 Strength & conditioning sessions delivered by AZ
💰 Less than $19/hr cost for camp time! Our goal with the registration fee is simply to cover the costs of facility rentals, travel, program creations to enable delivering a high-quality weekend and with a focus to make this opportunity available to developing athletes.
The skill sessions include coaching and instruction from Marco Arop also in the lecture component of the session with hands-on middle-distance and strength-training components designed around qualities athletes especially 8-1500m athletes should develop during the off-season and then refocus as they move into competition.

Lets Strengthen the track and field perception and programming in this Country!
We coach, train, and accelerate athlete development in sprint and middle-distance track. As a nationally certified coach and Masters athlete, Athletic Victory Speed was founded by Mirco Graenert, late 2025 to enable local sprint and mid distance training.
