Our Mission

We offer track and field/cross country training and racing for youth (1st-5th grades) and middle school athletes (6th-8th grades). While we are a club by definition, we do not operate as a traditional club. We welcome kids of all abilities in hopes of fostering a love for running. Our goals are to build community, teach the fundamentals of the sport, and have fun while doing it. Every member of our club gets an equal opportunity to improve and compete. 

Our training is tailored to the needs of the individual. We teach basic fitness activities and the fundamentals of cross country to our newest runners while also providing elite training programs for our more fit and experienced runners. All athletes will be challenged to get better each day while focusing on having fun through gameplay and teamwork.
