Train with purpose.
Arrive ready.
Perform at your best.
The GL Camps immersive 5-day pre-race camp running between 6–11th October is designed to bring the best athlete in you out before the Head of the Cork. High-quality coaching, focused technical development, and a supportive high-performance training environment will enable you to become your best rowing self.
The camp is perfect for rowers looking to refine their stroke and unlock more speed, centring on developing a deeper understanding of movement, efficiency, and boat feel.
Athletes will benefit from structured on-water sessions, personalised feedback, video analysis and an inspiring training atmosphere alongside like-minded competitors.
Key Benefits of Training
Dial in your race strategy
We spend time on pacing, line choice, and decision-making so you’re not guessing on race day—you’re executing. You’ll leave knowing exactly how to approach your race from the first stroke to the finish.
Quality coaching in a focused environment
With small groups and experienced coaches, every session is purposeful. We refine technique, build rhythm, and make those marginal gains that really count over 5k.
Train on the race course
There’s a real advantage to being on the course before the event. You’ll get familiar with the ins and outs of the lake, how to manage conditions, and key landmarks - so nothing will feel new when it matters most.
Arrive feeling prepared, not pressured
By the time race day comes around, being on camp will mean that you’re already settled in and established your confidence on Lake Avis. There’s no better way to enter a race than this.
