Frankfort pack run club
fall camp information | Registration
The Frankfort Pack Run Club offers youth running and cross country training for athletes in grades 2–8. The club focuses on teaching running fundamentals, building endurance and speed, developing confidence, and creating a positive youth running community. Runners of all abilities are welcome. No prior running or cross-country experience is necessary.
Training Focus: Running fundamentals, cross country, endurance, pacing, speed development, running form, drills, strides, race preparation, and intrasquad timed races.
Philosophy: Our philosophy emphasizes collaboration between elementary and middle school coaches, parents, athletes, and Pack TFCC clubs. Rather than focusing on high-pressure competition, extensive travel, or elite training, we provide accessible, community-based programming where kids can learn the fundamentals of cross country/track and field in a supportive local environment. All sessions occur outside of normal school seasons for middle and high school athletes. This club provides primary service to those in Frankfort, Mokena, New Lenox, and other nearby suburbs.
