Our Mission

Our mission is to develop young athletes in both mind and body.  Young runners require a fun, supportive environment to aid in aerobic development.  Character lessons will be shared at all practices.  We want to bridge the gap between small school youth runners & larger, more priviledged programs.

Our mission is to develop long distance runners in both mind and body.  Our Youth Track Club is focused on long-term aerobic development with a strong emphasis on character development.

We want all young athletes to have the opportunity to maximize their abilities.  This can be achieved by complementing a current program or by helping bridge the gap between small school athletics and more privileged programs.  We teach about progression, goal setting, teamwork, and old school grit.

We currently offer four youth programs–Spring, Summer, Fall, and Extended Fall (XC championship season).  Year-round progressive running is the key to continued improvement.  Sign up for a season of running and join our team!
