Hello
Greg Christensen
Owner and Operator of Elevated Running Camps
Angel Fire, NM
​
Cross Country is the ultimate team sport… it takes all 7 (or 10) to score..I started these camps for my teams so we could all sit and talk about the season ahead and my expectations of them.. and theirs for me… The opportunity to sit with an athlete and discuss goals and expectations can be very powerful in setting up for the season ahead….to be able to do it in a beautiful setting and with team mates is a huge bonus going into the upcoming season
Greg's Story
Greg retired from teaching and coaching xc/track for 34 years in the DFW Metroplex in 2019, after guiding the Highland Park boys teams to multiple State appearances from 1996-2006 for the Scots boys XC… and podium finishes in track and field.
In 2006 he began the xc/track programs at Lovejoy for the Leopards’ boys/girls teams resulting in multiple State Championships for both squads in XC along with individuals in Track and Field.
During his tenure his teams won 5 State Cross Country Titles as Lovejoy grew from 3A classification to 5A.
He began his summer camps for the boys teams at Highland Park taking them to his family’s lake house in Kansas (1996), and then eventually moving the camps in 2004 to Aspen, Colorado. Northern NM has been home to the summer camps since 2008 in Taos Ski Valley before finding its new home in Angel Fire in 2020.
Along with the summer camps, he has also conducted Steeplechase clinics at Lovejoy High School. Over the years, multiple All-Americans and former Olympians have spoke at the camps and clinics.

He was inducted into the Cross Country Coaches Assn of Texas Hall of Fame in 2022.
