The Animal Camp is an extreme ultrarunning club founded by its namesake, Josh "the Animal" Dennis.

If you call your friends to organize a training run when you hear reports of a tropical storm hitting your favorite stretch of singletrack, or equate "flood warnings" with "creek crossings," this is the the club for you.

Our extreme athletes are training to push the limits of ultrarunning. Passion, endurance, and a hunger for adventure are the name of the game. If it doesn't hurt, sign us up for something that will.  We are not seeking volume of membership, we are seeking to become a meeting place for extreme ultrarunners who share an interest in the more hardcore aspects of the sport.

Based in the Philadelphia area, our short-term goals are to:

• spread interest in extreme ultrarunning;
• provide a forum for athletes to share information, plan training programs and organize training runs; and
• foster the closeknit community that is exteme ultrarunning. 

A long-term goal is to organize and host a race or races that capture our unique brand of ultrarunning- what we call Animal Camp style.
