The Mountain.  

For a runner, there is nothing more freeing than running up a mountain, cascading down alpine meadows, jumping over rocks, and anticipating the unknown that awaits around the next switchback. 

The pinnacle of so many challenges, the mountain is where determination and nerve combine to produce achievement. With breath taking backdrops, pioneering adventure, and the pursuit of accomplishment that pervade the most visually arresting terrain on the planet - This is Eric Orton's Mountain Running Academy – Jackson Hole.

Step off the radar and embark on an epic run adventure of self-discovery through the heart of the Mountains of Jackson Hole.  Located in the Teton Mountain Range, basecamp is Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, with 10,450 foot Rendezvous Peak the tipping point to your run quest.  Jackson Hole is the real wildwest and the Teton Mountains provide world class training grounds.

This one of a kind mountain experience also captures the one of a kind coaching approach that Eric Orton infuses into The Academy.  The Born To Run coach, and author of The Cool Impossible, provides every runner the opportunity to train, learn, explore, and discover what is possible with their running.

"Last Sunday I had another 50K with 6,000 ft of elevation.  I could just keep going - pushing the fear, doubt, pain aside, and beat my personal best by one hour.  Things are feeling more and more limitless, not just in racing but work and family too.  This is The Cool Impossible.

I can't thank you enough."  AB - California
